Sadi Malot
The history of Champagne Sadi Malot begins with Socrate Malot. His brother ‘Sadi’ (named after the assassinated French president Sadi Carnot †1894) died during the First World War and the winery was dedicated to him. Cindy Malot and her husband Florian Villiere are now at the helm. Now in its 5th generation, the family cultivates 9 hectares of Chardonnay and 2 hectares of Pinot Noir in the Montagne de Reims: the Chardonnay is located in Villers-Marmery, where the soils are characterised by calcareous rock, similar to the Côte de Blancs. The Pinot Noir is located in the two Grand Cru communes of Verzy and Verzenay. Super potential!
The winery has been working sustainably for many years and has been converting to biodynamics since 2022. The wood for the barrels is sourced from the nearby Argonne forest. Stainless steel tanks and concrete eggs are also used during vinification.
Many reserve wines mature in tanks using the solera method (‘perpetual reserve’ from 1982) and are left to rest for long periods on the fine lees. They are bottled without fining or filtration and are aged in the bottle for 3 to 10 years.
Sadi Malot champagnes are fresh, aromatic and complex. They have a pronounced drinkability in the base, the Prestige Cuvées are straight, straightforward and profound.
Facts: R.M., Montagne de Reims, 11 ha in Villers-Marmery, Verzy and Verzenay, 80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir
