HOW SHE GOT HERE
Magali Greffier represents the third generation of her family to farm in Congy, a village in the Coteaux du Petit Morin that sits just southwest of the Côte des Blancs. The domaine — known as Collard-Greffier — has long been rooted in this quieter corner of Champagne, where growers have historically sold much of their harvest to the grandes maisons rather than bottling under their own name. Magali works alongside her brother and father, keeping the project firmly within the family.
Her approach is defined less by ideology than by common sense: work with the soil rather than against it, favour organic inputs, and bring the same restraint to the cellar that she applies in the vineyard. A significant portion of the estate's fruit continues to go to négociants — a pragmatic choice that allows the family to select only their best parcels for their own bottlings. The result is a range built on quality over volume.
What Magali has developed is not a departure from tradition but a refinement of it — a third-generation producer who knows her land well enough to let it speak without interference.
