Description
What type of wine it is
Champagne Les Courtisols du Futur Brut Nature by Sacy Soeur et Frere is a Blanc de Noirs with a structured and essential profile. This Champagne is made exclusively from pure Pinot Noir grapes, vinified according to the principles of the Traditional Method. It is distinguished by its vigorous character, where the richness of the fruit is harmoniously intertwined with a marked acidity and a clear chalky salinity. On the palate, it is deep and austere, offering an energetic sip, ideal for pairing with appetisers, fish dishes, sushi, shellfish and savoury cheeses.
Where it comes from
This Champagne comes to life in Verzy, a prestigious Grand Cru located on the north-eastern slope of the Montagne de Reims. The grapes come from the specific Les Courtisols plot, located at the top of the hill. Here, the semi-continental climate with slight oceanic influences meets an exceptional terroir, characterised by a thin clay-limestone layer resting on a deep substrate of Campanian chalk. These pedoclimatic conditions, combined with the altitude, give the wine its unmistakable tension and marked minerality, enhancing the purity of the Pinot Noir.
How it is produced
The production of this Champagne is a careful artisanal process, with a limited production of 1,960 bottles. After the harvest and soft pressing, the Pinot Noir grapes are vinified as a white wine. Alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously in oak barrels, using indigenous yeasts, followed by a natural malolactic fermentation. The wine undergoes no filtration or fining before bottling. This is followed by ageing on the lees in the bottle for the secondary fermentation, according to the Traditional Method. At the time of disgorgement, no sugar dosage is added (Pas Dosé), to preserve the expression of the terroir intact.
History and curiosities
This cuvée was born from the brilliant intuition of Yaël and Jonathan Sacy for the Sacy Sœur & Frère project, created at the historic Louis de Sacy family maison in Verzy. The wine's name is an elegant play on words between its terroir of origin, the famous Les Courtisols plot, and the prolonged ageing in barrels. This careful approach fully enhances the pure tension of the Pinot Noir grown at the summit of the hill. This special production results in an excellence encapsulated in a limited edition of one thousand nine hundred and sixty bottles, a proud tribute to their family heritage.

The family has owned vines in Champagne since 1633, but it was André Sacy in 1962 who took the plunge and decided to produce Champagne, initially founding Champagne Sacy Père et Fils, which would later become Champagne Louis de Sacy.
Alain Sacy subsequently invested in the vineyard to achieve complete independence, allowing him to present his cuvées in France and internationally, starting with New York City in 2001.
Yaël and Jonathan Sacy, after various professional experiences in France and abroad, joined the family estate in 2013 to pursue its development and bring a new philosophy to both the vineyard and winemaking.
Today, the estate cultivates 18 hectares of vines with deep respect for the environment. The house's environmental commitment is certified by HVE (High Environmental Value) and VDC (Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne), which assess strict criteria such as water management and biodiversity on the property.
A significant portion of the estate has also been certified in organic viticulture under the Ecocert label since the 2023 harvest, with another part currently in organic conversion.
