Since 1952, the Moulin d'Argensole has been the cradle of our grower's champagne. Generations follow one another, making Champagne and Family our watchwords of well-being. In fine weather you can enjoy your flute in the shade of blossoming trees. As you discover us, you will quickly understand why we love our Côte des Blancs terroir so much.
Founding of the House in Vertus by Maurice Doyard, future co-founder of the CIVC in 1941.
Purchase of the Moulin d'Argensole by Jean Doyard and Annette Gabreau; a home and tasting place for family and visitors.
Construction of the cellar that you will visit today — lit by candlelight for you, in respectful silence.
In 1991, Philippe Doyard brings the House into the Magister Network and develops sustainable vineyard practices that respect the terroir and its environment.
Carole Doyard returns to the family estate. Working alongside her parents, Martine and Philippe Doyard, she learns the craft, from vineyard to cellar, and absorbs the expertise passed down through her family.
Since 2015, under the leadership of Carole Doyard, the House has carried on its family legacy and shared its champagnes around the world — France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Canada, Japan, Denmark and Austria.
This tree follows Maurice Doyard’s family line and his descendants through to Carole. Maurice founded the house in 1927 and helped establish the CIVC in 1941.

On their union, Martine Mahé developed the Doyard-Mahé brand. In 1990 she pioneered wine tourism at the estate by building the reception facilities.
After returning to the estate in 2005, Carole learns the craft alongside her parents, Martine and Philippe Doyard. Since 2015, she has led the House, combining family heritage, innovation and sustainable viticulture.
