A method of fabricating a ceramic material, the method including forming a ceramic material by performing a first chemical reaction at least between a first powder of an intermetallic compound and a reactive gas phase, a liquid phase being present around the grains of the first powder during the first chemical reaction, the liquid gas phase being obtained from a second powder of a metallic compound by melting the second powder or as a result of a second chemical reaction between at least one element of the first powder and at least one metallic element of the second powder, a working temperature being imposed during the formation of the ceramic material, which temperature is low enough to avoid melting the first powder.
