Champagne Louis de Sacy is in Verzy, near the mountains outside of Riems. The Sacy family has been in Verzy since the 17th century and worked for generations as grape growers and winemakers. However it wasn’t until 1958 that Andre Sacy, then the head of the family, decided to label the family’s Champagne with the family name. He chose to name his Champagne house after an illustrious 18th century ancestor, Louis de Sacy, who was a well-known lawyer, writer and member of the l’Academe Francaise. Today the 50-acre estate is run by Alain Sacy and it produces about 270,000 bottles annually. Champagne Louis de Sacy includes several Grand Cru cuvees since much of the estate’s vineyards are in Grand Cru villages. The estate also makes a kosher Champagne.
