What is the history of Maison De Sousa?
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.

Description De Sousa Cuvée 3A.
Avize, essentially pure chalk soil, called Belemnite will give a fresh minerality with the chardonnay.
Aÿ, with its southern exposure, brings fruit aromas and Ambonnay, with its old vines planted in the 1950s, completes the picture by bringing strength and structure. The latter two are planted with Pinot Noirs.
A very rich Champagne: two grape varieties and three grands crus.
A perfect harmony between power and finesse rounded by notes of red berries.
