Champagne Sourdet-Diot: A Legacy in the Marne Valley

Located in the picturesque Marne Valley at La Chapelle Monthodon, Champagne Sourdet-Diot has a rich history that dates back to the 1960s. Raymond Sourdet began planting vines during this time, and the estate has grown significantly since then. In 1980, Patrick and Nadine Sourdet became independent winegrowers, crafting their own champagne from their grapes. They established a traditional press and wine cellar, allowing them to produce high-quality wines. By 1990, they were using their entire grape harvest for winemaking and opened a tasting room to welcome visitors. In 1992, the estate was recognized as a Welcome Point on the Champagne Tourist Route, highlighting its significance in the region.

Commitment to Quality Winemaking

Spanning 11 hectares, the estate's vineyards thrive on the southeastern slopes, ideal for cultivating premium grapes. In 2011, they upgraded to a modern 6000 Kg press and replaced enameled vats with stainless steel tanks, enhancing their winemaking process. Careful pruning techniques are employed to limit yields, ensuring that only the finest grapes are harvested. The vineyard grows Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, with handpicking guaranteeing quality. Natural yeasts are utilized for fermentation at controlled temperatures, allowing the wines to develop their unique character. This meticulous approach results in wines that reflect the terroir and the Sourdet family's dedication to excellence.
