Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The Extra Brut dosage of 5 g/L and the dominant Grand Cru Chardonnay deliver a vivid, persistent citrus-driven tension.
Roundness
Six months of barrel ageing on the lees lends a creamy texture and a characteristically silky roundness.
Power
The Pinot Noir from Aÿ and Ambonnay, aged for a year in barrel, structures the palate without weighing down the finish.
Length
A long, distinguished finish carried by the chalky minerality of the Grand Cru terroirs of Avize.

TASTING NOTES

A delicate salmon-pink robe with golden highlights, enlivened by an airy mousse of exceptionally fine bubbles. On the nose, woody vanilla, roasted hazelnut and toasted brioche intertwine with the strawberry and raspberry fragrances lent by the Pinot Noir. On the palate, the attack is fresh and precise, the texture creamy, and the finish of remarkable mineral length.

Terroirs

An assemblage of three Grand Cru terroirs: 50% Avize (Chardonnay, Côte des Blancs) for its chalky minerality, 25% Aÿ and 25% Ambonnay (Pinot Noir, Montagne de Reims) for structure and red-fruit aromatics. The vines are farmed using organic and biodynamic practices.

De Sousa

About this house

Founded in Avize at the heart of the Côte des Blancs, De Sousa & Fils is one of the benchmark names in the artisan récoltant-manipulant movement. Erick de Sousa, the third generation at the helm, has championed organic and biodynamic viticulture since the 1990s — HVE certification included — with deliberately low yields and full barrel ageing.

A philosophy radically rooted in terroir: each plot is vinified separately, malolactic fermentations are partial or absent depending on the cuvée, and dosages are kept to a minimum to allow the chalk of Avize to speak for itself. The Cuvée des Caudalies Rosé is the most accomplished expression of this vision: a rarity produced in limited quantities and unanimously acclaimed by international critics.

Its fine bubbles and Extra Brut vivacity make a wonderful match for crispy cheese canapés.

The chalky minerality and citrus notes pair beautifully with the delicate brininess of sea bass carpaccio.

The creamy texture born of barrel ageing enters into elegant dialogue with the unctuous, earthy aromas of morel mushrooms.
