Céline Hirsch

Head Winemaker

Vins Auvigue | Pouilly-Fuissé, FR
Pouilly-Fuissé, France

Born in 1984 in Alsace, Céline Hirsch graduated with an oenologist and engineering diploma. She worked in Cali­fornia and Champagne before settling in Beaujolais in 2011. In August of 2018, she joined Auvigue’s team, just as their head winemaker Michel Au­vigue was retiring.

Her goal today is to maintain and devel­op the Auvigue style: elegant wines, maintaining freshness for the Mâcon-Villages and the respect of the terroirs by delicately allying the Chardonnay with the oak for the Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé wines.

Exclusively in charge of the Pouil­ly-Fuissé vineyard, Céline commenced the conversion towards certified organic farming and additionally is experimenting with biodynamic practices.
