La Maison De Sousa is located in the commune of Avize in the heart of the prestigious Côte des blancs. It was founded by Antoine De Sousa in the 1950s through marriage to a daughter from a winegrowing family.
Today, Erick De Sousa is one of the region's most talented winemakers, favoring a sustainable approach to his vineyards in order to produce authentic Champagnes of great purity.
In the aftermath of the First World War, Manuel De Sousa, originally from the province of Braga and part of the Portuguese contingent sent to the front, decided to settle in Champagne at Avize with his wife. His son Antoine married Zoémie Bonville, from a long-established family of winegrowers in the region. A success story that has never ceased to endure. Their son Erick took over in 1986, demonstrating exceptional talent in raising the vineyard to a new level of excellence Rare. Today, he is gradually passing on his heritage and passion to his three children: Charlotte, Julie and Valentin, who will continue to write the pages of history.
House De Sousa watches over a vineyard of 9.5 hectares of vines classified as Grand Cru in the commune of Avize on the Côte des blancs. Situated between the high-quality terroirs of Cramant to the north and Oger to the south, Avize has a soil and subsoil... See more ...
"A caudalie is a unit of measurement that expresses the duration of expression in the mouth of the wine's aromas, it is calculated at the moment the wine is swallowed. One caudalie equals one Seconde."
This cuvée highlights the Mesnil terroir on the wonderful 2012 harvest. By selecting a vintage from a single terroir and plot, the De Sousa family wanted to highlight its character, its unique feature as well as its strength.
The gray scents are immediate and precise: carbon, pencil lead. Transparency is illustrated through the freshness of white flowers, spring humus, sweet spices, iodine and lemon salt. The feeling of Extraction, concentration and then great education magnetizes. Very generous, the yellow stone fruits on a buttery cookie: apricot, mirabelle plum radiate great maturity.
The olfactory ascent is empyreumatic, sublimating smoky, burnt, pure gray salt, sweet fragrances of white truffles, and cashew nuts. Tenderness, richness and creaminess contrast with the palate's taut acidity, sharpened by green and yellow citrus fruits and granny apples. The fatness of the nuts imposes itself as a protective film for an immediate connection to the raw material posed on its source of birth and earthly life.
A complex, rich Champagne that would be desirable to sublimate with exceptional dishes such as a lamb sourie confit or a hard cheese aged 24 or 36 months.
The Caudalie cuvée has an ageing potential of 15 to 20 years.
