It would be in 1325 that the ancestor of the Marquis, Hugues de Sade, married Laure de Noves. She gave birth to eleven children and died in 1348. The origins of the family is Avignon and the region of Provence. After the French Revolution, the family migrated to the Champagne region and settled in the chateau of Conde (in Conde-en-Brie, in the heart of the Champagne producing region). The family stayed there until 1982 and never stopped to be linked to this beautiful and prestigious wine-producing region. It has been 70 years that Domaines & Chateaux de Sade has been producing its own brand "Marquis de Sade" Champagne, in cooperation with top wine-growers and Champagne producers selected for their talent and ancestral know-how.
