What champagne Sourdet-Diot does

Champagne Sourdet-Diot is a family-owned grower Champagne house (Récoltant-Manipulant) operating from La Chapelle-Monthodon in the Marne Valley between Épernay and Château-Thierry, France. The estate spans three generations — Raymond Sourdet planted the first vines in 1962, his son Patrick and daughter-in-law Nadine Diot established the Champagne production in 1975, and granddaughter Ludivine joined full-time in 2008. The family controls approximately 8.60 hectares of south-east-facing vineyards dominated by Meunier, complemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and operates the entire production chain from vine to bottle.

The portfolio comprises two ranges. The Traditionnels include Brut Tradition, Cuvée de Réserve Brut, Rosé Brut, and Cuvée Prestige Brut, while the Insolites feature Pur Meunier (100% Meunier Extra-Brut), Millésime 2018, L'Atypique 2018 (oak-aged Blanc de Blancs), and Rosé de Saignée. Production relies on traditional Champagne winemaking: a 4,000 kg traditional press, temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, oak foudre and 200-litre barrels for the Insolites cuvées, and underground cellars for extended lees aging (minimum 3 years, exceeding the legal minimum). Riddling is performed either manually on pupitres or via gyropalettes. The estate holds Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certification obtained in 2020 and the Vignobles et Découvertes label.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through direct-to-consumer channels: a tasting room at the property (added in 2012), an online boutique on champagnesourdet.com, and regular participation in wine fairs in France (Wine Paris, Salon des Vignerons Indépendants) and Belgium (St-Niklaas). Bulk orders of 60+ bottles qualify for free home delivery in Paris and the Paris region, with international shipping to Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; orders under 60 bottles are transacted at unit pricing via the website, while larger orders receive custom quotes with quantitative discounts.
