J.M. Goulard

The winemaking adventure of the Goulard family begins with Paul Goulard, a farmer and winemaker, who lays the foundation of the current estate. In 1978, his son Jean-Marie, together with his wife Martine, establishes the winery, focusing on traditional viticulture and quality wines. Their children, Sébastien, Sylvain, and Damien, grow up among the vineyards, harvests, and loyal customers. Since 2012, Damien has been leading the estate, combining tradition with a contemporary vision.

Today, Damien works with deep attention to the Massif de Saint-Thierry, practicing thoughtful viticulture without chemical treatments, and is in the process of organic and biodynamic certification. Parcel-based vinifications and the mindful use of wood allow the identity of the place to be fully expressed. At the heart of his philosophy lies the geology of the land, which guides every decision in both vineyard and cellar.

The Massif de Saint-Thierry offers a heterogeneous terroir with sandy-clay and clay-limestone soils, ideal for precision viticulture. Thanks to a favorable microclimate, Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay find perfect conditions to express their character. Damien’s wines are distinguished by moderate acidity, elegance, and fine minerality — a distinctive signature of both the land and his craftsmanship.
