The next generation of the Sacy family, Yael and Jonathan maintain the traditional values and skill of champagne making that have been passed down for generations.

WINEMAKING

Long maturation for this wine made only from select parcels in Bligny, Cernay, and Treslon. Louis de Sacy uses various agroforestry and natural methods to maintain the health of its vineyards. Winemaking and vinification is dynamic, and the winemakers try to be very reactive to the unique situation each year presents. After harvest, grapes are classified by varietal.

Once pressing is done, vinification occurs in 35 stainless steel tanks or oak barrels. Bottled wines stay on the lies for two to ten years of some vintages. Dosage 1,6g/l

This Grand Cru has tense citrus-like acidity, minerality, as well as a rich and concentrated finish with continuous flavors. Serve with anything from aperitifs to big & flavorful dishes.
