TASTING NOTES

A golden yellow robe with green highlights, enlivened by a fine, persistent bead. On the nose, an expressive floral bouquet of mimosa and citrus, lifted by notes of ripe fruit and a delicate chalky minerality. On the palate, the attack is crisp, the freshness vivid and beautifully balanced by a golden roundness with honeyed accents.

About this house

Founded in Avize at the heart of the Côte des Blancs, De Sousa is a benchmark estate in committed Champenois viticulture. Under the stewardship of Erick De Sousa, the domaine has farmed biodynamically (Demeter certified) since the 1990s, with an absolute respect for terroir and natural cycles.

De Sousa champions a philosophy of authentic, low-dosage terroir wines that express the mineral character and purity of Côte des Blancs Chardonnay. Its single-vineyard cuvées and the oak-aged Cuvée des Caudalies rank among the most sought-after references for lovers of artisan Champagne.
