The story
The house traces its origins to the Malot family: the first generation is associated with Socrate Malot, and the brand is dedicated to a family member named Sadi. Production has remained in the family's hands for several generations, and today the house continues to enhance the vineyards of Villers-Marmery and the parcels in Verzy/Verzenay, with historical references dating back to the beginnings of the family's activity.
Production philosophy
The approach aims to express the terroir through sincere, precise Champagnes: vineyard work focused on sustainability and winemaking that combines steel, wood and concrete to achieve finesse and expressiveness. Perpetual reserves and long aging on the lees are used for the house cuvées.
Terroir and vineyards
Main premises in Villers-Marmery. The estate also owns vineyards in neighboring communes, including parcels in Grand Cru sites such as Verzy. The soils of Villers-Marmery are characterized by a strong limestone component, which influences the style of the blanc de blancs cuvées.
