Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Precise, finely chiselled acidity — the mineral signature of Avize chalk.
Roundness
Full barrel ageing imparts a broad, vinous texture.
Power
The concentration of vines over 50 years old lends a remarkable depth of character.
Length
An exceptionally persistent finish — the very name of the cuvée pays homage to the caudalies.

De Sousa

About this house

A family domaine based in Avize, Éric de Sousa represents the third generation of a house that has long been a pioneer of biodynamics in Champagne — certified Biodyvin and HVE. The entire estate is farmed without herbicides or pesticides, with late manual harvests to maximise phenolic ripeness.

The De Sousa philosophy is rooted in the purest expression of Grand Cru terroir: full vinification and ageing in oak barrels, no fining, minimal filtration. The jewel of the estate, the Cuvée des Caudalies, matures for over five years on lees before disgorgement.
