Since 1930, my grandfather Henri JOLY and his brother-in-law Alfred GODINAT settled down in a family with
4000 kg press, vinified their champagne, marketing it with difficulty at that time. Also in Festigny, it was in 1947
that my grandfather bought a farm that belonged to Benedictine monks of the 17th century, directly linked to the
famous monk Dom Pérignon.
