A golden robe with green hues, fine and abundant bubbles. The nose is intense and precise, expressing white flowers, white peach, ripe pear and a characteristic chalky undertone. On the palate, the attack is lively and fresh, the mid-palate broad and voluptuous, leading to a long, mineral finish…

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with green hues, fine and abundant bubbles. The nose is intense and precise, expressing white flowers, white peach, ripe pear and a characteristic chalky undertone. On the palate, the attack is lively and fresh, the mid-palate broad and voluptuous, leading to a long, mineral finish with notes of citrus.

100%Chardonnay

Terroirs

A blend of Chardonnay sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs — Avize, Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly — grown on deep chalky soils. Vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve the varietal's aromatic purity, with a minimum of 25% reserve wines drawn from 2 to 3 previous vintages.

De Sousa

About this house

Based in Avize, at the heart of the Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs, Érick De Sousa tends a family domaine of 9.5 hectares of old vines, converted to organic farming in 2010 and to biodynamic viticulture in 2013. His philosophy: to reveal the natural expression of Chardonnay and each individual terroir, without artifice or compromise.

Through his single-vineyard cuvées and Grand Cru blends, De Sousa has established himself as an absolute benchmark among the most committed grower-producers in Champagne. The house preserves the authenticity of its vines by vinifying in stainless steel for its entry-level cuvées, and in large oak casks or amphorae for its parcel-specific expressions — an approach that speaks to a winemaking rigour that is genuinely rare.

The vivacity and chalky minerality of this Grand Cru Chardonnay pair beautifully with a delicate sea bass carpaccio.

The wine's breadth and minerality find a natural dialogue with the vegetal character and creamy texture of an asparagus risotto.
