Louis de Sacy – Champagne Inédite Blanc de Blancs Brut Grand Cru – 2013

We are in the Grand Cru of Verzy, where, in an area with a vocation for Pinot Noir thanks to the clay/limestone soils, Chardonnay has also found a good adaptation in a microclimate that enhances its unprecedented strength. A blanc de blanc produced only from Chardonnay grapes from several years, from vineyards located at medium altitudes and good exposures where they acquire good aromas. This bubble is fermented in steel tanks where, after drawing, it is aged on the lees for 7 years before disgorging. The result is a bubble with a fine perlage, which releases a perfect balance between structure and refinement where the fruity scents and the strong acidity give a final of great freshness.

Description

Among the many wineries in the Champagne region, Louis de Sacy is one of those that is asserting itself firmly on the international scene. Situated in Verzy, in one of the Grand Cru communes in the Montagne de Reims, since 1633 as many as 13 generations have followed one another, united by the sole desire to excel. However, the recent history begins with Andrè de Sacy when he decided in 1962 to start his own Champagne production, laying the foundations on which the company stands today. From its inception to the present day, it owns 18 hectares of property divided into 23 parcels where the three local varieties Pinot Noir 65%, Chardonnay 30% and Pinot Meunier 5% are cultivated with vines of an average age of 30 years that take root on soils rich in clay/limestone. An environmental context with minimal use of chemicals, where agro-forestry is practised to reduce monoculture, creating an eco-sustainable landscape that has earned the Maison its first awards in the region. This respect for the land, linked to the trends of the year, is a strong source of inspiration, the main objective being the pure expression of the terroir in order to identify the various territorial identities, from the village to the individual vineyard. Vinification is carried out both in stainless steel and in oak barrels with an aging time on the lees ranging from a minimum of 24 months to over 10 years. “No rules” is the expression that best sums up their innovative style.
