Champagne De Sousa
Champagne De Sousa, founded at the end of the 19th century, is located in Avize and run by Michelle and Erick De Sousa. The estate comprises 11 hectares of vines in 42 parcels planted on chalky soil typical of the Champagne region. Champagne De Sousa's vineyards, with an average age of 45 years, have been certified organic since 2010.

The vineyards of Champagne De Sousa are harvested entirely by hand, as late as possible to obtain optimum ripeness and grapes rich in fragrance. Champagne is made according to the ancient methods instilled by his father, Erick De Sousa has opted for malolactic fermentation to round out its wines, and practices the old-fashioned practice of chilling at -4°C to enhance the limpidity of its Champagne. The family know-how of Champagne De Sousa is also used to blend old wines for ageing, to balance the cuvées and ensure consistent quality.

"A superbly balanced champagne, an exceptional cuvée for discerning connoisseurs".

"A cuvée that perfectly combines three fine terroirs and two grape varieties. Textured and full-bodied on the palate, with hints of citrus, melilot, fruit compote and apples à grenier lingering, it's delicious! The bubbles are slender, and the perfectly-adjusted dosage brings that hint of gourmandise we love." (Le Guide Gault & Millau).

"A well-structured Champagne that will be the perfect accompaniment to your festive meals!

"Cooked fruits (peach, apricot, pear) bring their slightly sweet sweetness, while toasty notes add density. Freshness asserts itself on the palate with sparkling substance. The bubbles support a very round, greedy, unctuous texture. The finish is long and persistent, with a lovely freshness and salivating bitters". (Le Guide Gault & Millau).

"Sourced from Avize, Oger and Cramant, Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Réserve boasts an invigorating lemony color and offers a bouquet of fresh, intense, chalky Chardonnay that indicates concentration, depth and tension. Pure and linear on the palate, it is well structured and mineral; a straightforward yet very fine and elegant Brut with a stimulating mineral finish that also reveals concentrated, juicy fruit flavors. The aftertaste is complex and expressive." (Wine Advocate - Stephan Reinhardt)

"Grande Cuvée

"Cuvée des Caudalies Grand Cru Extra Brut, with its intense citrus color, is made from 100% Chardonnay from old Avize vines. [...] The wine opens with an intense, concentrated bouquet, still yeasty and toasty, with lots of brioche and refined "reserve" aromas. Pure and linear on the palate, but also rich and intense, with a charming roundness (dosage of five grams per liter), this is a Cuvée des Caudalies that is still terribly young, but well-structured and expressive, and the finish reveals remarkable saline purity, complexity and mineral tension." (Wine Advocate - Stephan Reinhardt)

"The Grand Cru Extra Brut Cuvée des Caudalies 2010 has a very clean, complex, expressive and very mineral nose, dominated by ripe, concentrated fruit, yet at the same time very delicate, giving this cuvée its unique expression. Intense, round and fruity on the palate, this is a very fine, elegant Caudalies, already persistent and mineral, revealing great purity, finesse and freshness on the finish. [...] It's a great blanc de blanc, very charming and seductive."

"De Sousa Brut Rosé is a blend of 92% Chardonnay fermented in stainless steel tanks and 8% Pinot Noir fermented in small barrels. The wine has a beautiful onion color and opens with a delicate, vinous bouquet. On the palate, it's a round, charming, pretty, soft and fruity rosé with remarkable finesse and balance. Very seductive, it has a very nice unctuosity and persistent flavors of brioche and red fruits in the clear, fresh finish." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Stephan Reinhardt) A rosé of great finesse!

Champagne Zoémie De Sousa - Cuvée Désirable

The fine, elegant bubbles of Cuvée Désirable come together to form a light mousse. The nose reveals complex aromas of ripe wheat with a hint of ginger. The fatness and structure of this champagne are well represented, with good balance and length... Tasty!
