Champagne Michel Fagot: An Authentic Family Estate

A Family Legacy Since 1870

The Fagot family story is a 120-year legacy anchored in the Premier Cru terroir of Rilly-la-Montagne. Across five generations, they have remained "Grower-Producers", a distinction that means every single grape is grown, harvested, and bottled right here at the estate. It is a story of passion and patience, where the family’s craft has been passed down from father to son for over a century.

Today, Olivier Fagot carries this legacy forward as a dedicated "vineyard-gardener". For him, the vineyard is a living symphony where hedges, wildflowers, and beehives protect the 170,000 vines. Through his "Beehives against Champagne" initiative, he has turned the estate into a sanctuary for biodiversity, ensuring the land remains as healthy as it is productive. This vision allows the family to craft unique plot-based cuvées that capture the pure imprint of the terroir, offering a taste of Champagne that is both sophisticated and deeply authentic.
