The family runs just over 9 hectares, most of which in Avize but also in the Montagne de Reims and Ambonnay, also a small vineyard in the Marne Valley - Mardeuil. The main characteristics of De Sousa Champagne are; *'Vieilles Vignes' or old-vine viticulture. *The vineyards are ploughed traditionally by horse and some of the oldest vines go back to the early 1930's. *Full malolactic fermentation. *Extended lees ageing. *Ageing of reserve wines in barrel. Ericks' winemaking philosophy supports later ripening which allows the vines to benefit from the mineral-rich soils.

The family runs just over 9 hectares, most of which in Avize but also in the Montagne de Reims and Ambonnay, also a small vineyard in the Marne Valley - Mardeuil. The main characteristics of De Sousa Champagne are; *'Vieilles Vignes' or old-vine viticulture. *The vineyards are ploughed traditionally by horse and some of the oldest vines go back to the early 1930's. *Full malolactic fermentation. *Extended lees ageing. *Ageing of reserve wines in barrel. Ericks' winemaking philosophy supports later ripening which allows the vines to benefit from the mineral-rich soils. This interaction enables the champagne to develop a palate profile that has abundance and purity and in our view, a remarkable length and finish compared to many other champagnes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComing from 4 Grand Cru parcels with 40% reserve wines added.

Father and Vigneron Erick De Sousa has a Portuguese background and practices Biodynamic viticulture. The family runs just over 9 hectares, most of which in Avize but also in the Montagne de Reims and Ambonnay, also a small vineyard in the Marne Valley - Mardeuil. The main characteristics of De Sousa Champagne are; *'Vieilles Vignes' or old-vine viticulture. *The vineyards are ploughed traditionally by horse and some of the oldest vines go back to the early 1930's. *Full malolactic fermentation. *Extended lees ageing. *Ageing of reserve wines in barrel. Ericks' winemaking philosophy supports later ripening which allows the vines to benefit from the mineral-rich soils. This interaction enables the champagne to develop a palate profile that has abundance and purity and in our view, a remarkable length and finish compared to many other champagnes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-02-02T12:18:46+11:00","created_at":"2021-02-02T11:40:12+11:00","vendor":"De Sousa","type":"Blanc de Blancs","tags":["$100-200","Biodynamic","Blanc de blancs","Brut","chardonnay-dominant","Exclusive","Extra Brut","Grower","New Arrival","Old vines","Organic","Perpetual Solera","Region: Avize","spo-default","spo-disabled","Taste: Almond","Taste: Barrel-fermented","Taste: Barrel-maturation","Taste: Biodynamic","Taste: Chardonnay Dominant","Taste: Creamy","Taste: Grand Cru","Taste: Grand Cru Fruit","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Saline","Taste: Savoury","Taste: Solera","Taste: Toasty","Taste: Yellow Fruit","Varieties: Chardonnay","Year: 2008"],"price":45000,"price_min":45000,"price_max":45000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":33276980199533,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DE_SOUSA_CAUDALIES_08","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":16179240665197,"product_id":4894970970221,"position":1,"created_at":"2021-02-02T15:01:18+11:00","updated_at":"2021-02-02T15:01:18+11:00","alt":null,"width":540,"height":1080,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612238478","variant_ids":[33276980199533]},"available":true,"name":"De Sousa Cuvée des Caudalies Grand Cru '08 - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":45000,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":6,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":null,"featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":8350653546605,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612238478"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612238478","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-Back-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612238479","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-wrapping-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612239110"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612238478","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":8350653546605,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612238478"},"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612238478","width":540},{"alt":null,"id":8350653743213,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-Back-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612238479"},"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-Back-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612238479","width":540},{"alt":null,"id":8350672257133,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":4500,"width":2250,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-wrapping-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612239110"},"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":4500,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/De-Sousa-Caudalies-2008-wrapping-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1612239110","width":2250}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e- Coming from the 10\/10 rated harvest of 2008\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Old vines make for great wines and this is no exception\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Pair with shellfish, or with a decadent foie gras toast, grilled lobster skewers or red mullet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Presented in a De Sousa wooden box\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the watchful gaze of a third generation of champagne winegrowers, the grape harvest from old vines that are more than 50 years old was made entirely by hand for this Blanc de Blancs wine raised 100% in small oak barrels, among which 15% in new barrels for 10 months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour is a bright gold and a super fine bead.
