Goyard
Since 1911, Goyard has worked at the crossroads of Champagne, Charentes: in Aÿ, a small distillery was created to give value to what the presses leave behind—marc and lees—turning vineyard by‑products into spirits with a sense of place. What began as a travelling still became a reference for the region.Distillation in the alambic sits at the centre of the house: Marc de Champagne and Fine are drawn from the aftermath of harvest, while Ratafia Champenois IG is made by mutage—grape must stabilised with local eau‑de‑vie to preserve sweetness and lift. The aim is clarity and balance, never weight.
Long ageing in wood completes the picture, letting oxygen, time and seasoned casks sculpt a calm depth. Goyard tells a different Champagne story: no bubbles, just patience, craft and the quiet luxury of maturation.
