Intro: Our House is located in a very famous terroir in Montagne de Reims, Verzy. This is where we have grown vines for 13 generations with passion and the wish of transmission of our know how always in mind.
Our family owns vineyard in Champagne since 1633, and André Sacy, in 1962, make the decision to produce Champagne, creating at the beginning Champagne Sacy Père et Fils which will become Champagne Louis de Sacy in 1986, named after our brilliant ancestor.
Then, his son, Alain Sacy, made Louis de Sacy grow in France and also developed the export that is now an important part of our business.
Yaël and Jonathan Sacy, after different work experiences in France and abroad, joined the family business in 2012 to continue what has been built and develop the notoriety of the brand.

Flavours: The Champagne displays a fluid and luminous yellow-gold colour, with pale silvery-yellow highlights. It is crossed by fine and vivid bubbles providing for a lingering collar. The visual sensation indicates both richness and freshness.
The first nose is a bunch of flowers in which you can smell fragances of acacia, violet, fresh rose and hoeysuckle, with fruity notes like raspberry, apricot and almond. When aerated it evolves towards smells of linden, peach, fresh blackcurrant, Mirabelle, marmalade, liquorice, fresh butter, pomelo, lemon, pear, with scents of honey, menthol and anise.
The approach in the palate is frank and fresh with a creamy and melted effervescence. The Champagne develops pulpy and crunchy matter, sustained by a tense acidity reminding those of lemon and pomelo. The middle mouth is orchestrated by a chalky-clay minerality that provides frankness, body with a good length and some vinosity. The specific dosage allows you to appreciate a rich and concentrated finish with continuous flavours asking for dishes that are not lacking in character.
