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.\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","published_at":"2018-07-26T10:01:42+10:00","created_at":"2018-07-25T16:10:40+10:00","vendor":"De Sousa","type":"Brut Rosé","tags":["$100-200","Biodynamic","Brut","Club wines","Exclusive","Grower","New Arrival","Organic","Pinot Noir Red Wine","Region: Avize","Rose","Taste: Biodynamic","Taste: Campari","Taste: Chardonnay Dominant","Taste: Cherry Kernel","Taste: Creamy","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Red Fruits","Taste: Rose petals","Taste: Spice","Taste: Strawberry","Year: NV"],"price":10999,"price_min":10999,"price_max":10999,"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":12519424098413,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DE_SOUSA_ROSE_SGL","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":4454846136429,"product_id":1375719882861,"position":1,"created_at":"2019-02-22T10:40:42+11:00","updated_at":"2020-04-24T17:20:58+10:00","alt":"Emperor-Champagne-De-Sousa-Rose-Brut","width":646,"height":1000,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-De-Sousa-Rose-Brut.jpg?v=1587712858","variant_ids":[12519424098413]},"available":true,"name":"De Sousa Rosé - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":10999,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":51,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"3760030290037","featured_media":{"alt":"Emperor-Champagne-De-Sousa-Rose-Brut","id":1341219045485,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"width":646,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-De-Sousa-Rose-Brut.jpg?v=1569158994"}}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-De-Sousa-Rose-Brut.jpg?v=1587712858"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-De-Sousa-Rose-Brut.jpg?v=1587712858","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":"Emperor-Champagne-De-Sousa-Rose-Brut","id":1341219045485,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"width":646,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-De-Sousa-Rose-Brut.jpg?v=1569158994"},"aspect_ratio":0.646,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Emperor-Champagne-De-Sousa-Rose-Brut.jpg?v=1569158994","width":646}],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Biodynamic producer carving out textural and powerful wines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Made using 92% grand \u0026amp; premier cru chardonnay with 8% pinot noir red wine from Aÿ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Pair with some ocean trout.

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.\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e"}

With an annual production of some 1.5 million bottles, they are considerably larger than a small grower, but not quite of the size of the Grande Marques in and around Reims and Epernay. Drappier is one of the foremost producers in the region which is highly respected amongst its peers like Cédric Bouchard, Marie-Courtin, Vouette et Sorbée, and Jacques Lassaigne. They own 55 hectares of vineyards and use another 50 hectares under contract with other growers. A an interesting historical fact is that Charles de Gaulle (the Former Minister of the Armed Forces in France) was very fond of their Champagne and they named a cuvée after him.

This made sense from many angles. Salon are well-known for making high-end, exclusive and expensive wines that age well and are destined to last decades. Delamotte have a broader range to accommodate the everyday drinker (yes they exist) to seductive rosés and exemplary blanc de blancs, and so they should as they are in the heart of Côte des Blancs – Les Mesnil Sur Oger. This partnership caught the eye of Laurent-Perrier who decided to invest in these great families in 1989 and, as such, took over the wine making duties as well. Delamotte is one to seek out if you have discovered you are a blancs de blancs lover and it is in fact the house’s aim to be the reference for this style of champagne, which is no mean feat. If you are into rosé, they make a very seductive saignée version too.

Delamotte have a broader range to accommodate the everyday drinker (yes they exist) to seductive rosés and exemplary blanc de blancs, and so they should as they are in the heart of Côte des Blancs – Les Mesnil Sur Oger. This partnership caught the eye of Laurent-Perrier who decided to invest in these great families in 1989 and, as such, took over the wine making duties as well. Delamotte is one to seek out if you have discovered you are a blancs de blancs lover and it is in fact the house’s aim to be the reference for this style of champagne, which is no mean feat.

During winter, frost reached -17° celsius in the Montagne de Reims. Spring was cooler than usual and fortunately without frost, allowing a good budding. Warm temperatures only arrived June 10th and almost immediately, from June 15th, flowering started in perfect conditions.  In August, temperatures dropped severely, together with unusually abundant rainfall, bringing risk to the harvest. The return of sun in September saved the vintage, which started the 16th for the Chardonnays.
