Mycorhize 75cl

A pale golden robe with green glints, fine and luminous. An intense nose of candied lemon, Granny Smith apple and white blossom (acacia, hawthorn), lifted by a hint of toasted hazelnut and chalk after aeration. On the palate, the attack is precise and lively, carried by a finely chiselled acidity…

Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A finely chiselled acidity and chalky minerality for an Extra Brut of remarkable precision.
Roundness
Oak barrel ageing brings a velvety texture that balances the vivacity of the Chardonnay.
Power
The concentration of Avize's old vines (60 to 80 years) confers depth and density.
Length
A saline, persistent finish, marked by the chalk of the Côte des Blancs.

TASTING NOTES

A pale golden robe with green glints, fine and luminous. An intense nose of candied lemon, Granny Smith apple and white blossom (acacia, hawthorn), lifted by a hint of toasted hazelnut and chalk after aeration. On the palate, the attack is precise and lively, carried by a finely chiselled acidity that unfolds notes of brioche and citrus, with a persistent saline minerality on a long finish.

Terroirs

Sourced from the Les Hauts Nemery plot in Avize, at the heart of the Côte des Blancs, rated 100% Grand Cru, from vines aged 60 to 80 years. The blend combines 75% of the latest harvest with 25% perpetual reserve, vinified and aged entirely in oak barrels.

De Sousa

About this house

Founded in Avize at the heart of the Côte des Blancs, the house of De Sousa is one of the rare few to have embraced biodynamic viticulture as early as the 1990s. Julie and Erick de Sousa farm their vines using draught horses, minimising soil compaction to encourage the natural development of mycorrhizae — the symbiotic fungi that strengthen the vine's uptake of nutrients.

A world reference in Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru, De Sousa vinifies with indigenous yeasts and ages its cuvées in oak barrels. The plots of Avize, Cramant and Oger yield a Chardonnay of incomparable chalky minerality, a pure expression of the living terroir that the family tends with unwavering conviction.

Its fine bubbles and mineral tension pair beautifully with the crisp lightness of cheese gougères.

The freshness of the Chardonnay and its saline notes complement the delicacy of a citrus salmon tartare.

The chalky minerality and velvety texture of the Mycorhize elevate the buttery, briny aromas of sole meunière.
