Champagne Louis de Sacy
Champagne - France
Philosophy
Louis de Sacy is located in a very famous terroir in Montagne de Reims, Verzy. It is here that for 13 generations we cultivate the vine with passion always having in mind the idea of transmission of our know-how. The family owns the vineyard in Champagne since 1633. It was André Sacy who, in 1962, decided to produce Champagne, by founding Champagne Sacy Père et Fils which later became Champagne Louis de Sacy in 1986, named after our brilliant ancestor. Yaël and Jonathan Sacy, after various commercial experiences in France and abroad, joined the family business in 2013 in order to ensure continuity and to develop the notoriety. Today, Louis de Sacy exploit 18 hectares of vines with the deep respect of this land that has seen us born.
Terroir
Predominantly limestone with sedimentary rock composed of chalk, marl and limestone. They own 18 hectares of vines, 4 sectors, 23 identifiable plots, vines aged 28 years on average, grape varieties: 65% in Pinot Noir, 30% in Chardonnay and 5% in Pinot Meunier.
Wines
During vinification, they try not to fix rules: "The idea is to act (or not) depending on what the wines can bring us every year and also on the inspirations we have on that moment. We want to respect the caracteristics of each wine the more we can. We keep a part of the blend of the previous years as reserved wines to be aged in oak barrels of 228 L for a few months. After bottling, (called tirage), our wines will stay on the lies for 24 months minimum and until 10 years or more for our vintages... there are no rules!"
