An example would be, working the soil and allowing grass to grow between the vines. The wines are aged on lees and clarified by natural settling without filtration or fining.

Dehours is one of Champagne’s most exciting estates making stylish and expertly crafted wines with a careful approach and excellent quality.

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.

They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. 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. Amongst their range of excellent cuvée’s, they have a range including a ‘Sulfur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp field=\"recipename\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-11-14T22:01:55+11:00","created_at":"2018-11-14T21:45:48+11:00","vendor":"Drappier","type":"Blanc de Noirs","tags":["$100-200","Club wines","Exclusive","New Arrival","Organic","Region: Urville","spo-default","spo-enabled","Taste: Aged 3 Years on Lees","Taste: Chalky","Taste: Hazelnut","Taste: Lemon","Taste: Malolactic Fermention","Taste: Mineral","Taste: No Filtration","Taste: Organic","Taste: Pear","Taste: Pinot Noir Dominant","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Textural","Taste: Texture","Year: NV"],"price":11699,"price_min":11699,"price_max":11699,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":13832037564525,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DRAPPIER_SANS","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":4269513900141,"product_id":1488098492525,"position":1,"created_at":"2018-11-14T22:00:39+11:00","updated_at":"2019-03-29T18:10:27+11:00","alt":null,"width":460,"height":730,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/drappier-brut-nature-sans-soufre-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1553843427","variant_ids":[13832037564525]},"available":false,"name":"Drappier Brut Nature (Zero sulphur) - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":11699,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"3469380010028","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":1264770547821,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.63,"height":730,"width":460,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/drappier-brut-nature-sans-soufre-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1553843427"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/drappier-brut-nature-sans-soufre-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1553843427"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/drappier-brut-nature-sans-soufre-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1553843427","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":1264770547821,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.63,"height":730,"width":460,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/drappier-brut-nature-sans-soufre-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1553843427"},"aspect_ratio":0.63,"height":730,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/drappier-brut-nature-sans-soufre-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1553843427","width":460}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- One of the oldest and most prominent houses in Champagne with little to no sulphur across the range \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Made using 100% pinot noir with Zero Dosage (sugar) and Zero sulphur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Pair with seared Pork cutlets, celeriac purèe and spiced carrot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCould this be your first sulfur free champagne?

They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. 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. Amongst their range of excellent cuvée’s, they have a range including a ‘Sulfur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp field=\"recipename\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

This is far from an easy transition, as Champagne’s extreme northern climate can make biodynamic viticulture very difficult.

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"}

They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. 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. Amongst their range of excellent cuvée’s, they have a range including a ‘Sulfur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp field=\"recipename\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWould pair well with a venison tartare, celeriac puree and radish\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-10-04T13:30:35+11:00","created_at":"2021-05-18T10:28:58+10:00","vendor":"Drappier","type":"Rosé","tags":["$100-200","Club wines","Exclusive","New Arrival","Organic","Region: Urville","Rosé","spo-default","spo-enabled","Taste: Aged 3 Years on Lees","Taste: Chalky","Taste: Malolactic Fermention","Taste: Mineral","Taste: No Filtration","Taste: Organic","Taste: Pinot Noir Dominant","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Textural","Taste: Texture","Year: NV"],"price":12395,"price_min":12395,"price_max":12395,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39366024953965,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DRAPPIER_ROSE_NATURE","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":28105731473517,"product_id":6576448110701,"position":1,"created_at":"2021-05-18T10:35:58+10:00","updated_at":"2021-05-18T10:35:58+10:00","alt":"Drappier-rose-brut-nature-low-sulphur-emperor-champagne","width":367,"height":836,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/images_1.jpg?v=1621298158","variant_ids":[39366024953965]},"available":false,"name":"Drappier Rosé Nature (Low sulphur) - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":12395,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"3469380100354","featured_media":{"alt":"Drappier-rose-brut-nature-low-sulphur-emperor-champagne","id":20373091418221,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.439,"height":836,"width":367,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/images_1.jpg?v=1621298158"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/images_1.jpg?v=1621298158"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/images_1.jpg?v=1621298158","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":"Drappier-rose-brut-nature-low-sulphur-emperor-champagne","id":20373091418221,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.439,"height":836,"width":367,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/images_1.jpg?v=1621298158"},"aspect_ratio":0.439,"height":836,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/images_1.jpg?v=1621298158","width":367}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- One of the oldest and most prominent houses in Champagne with little to no sulphur across the range \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Made using 100% pinot noir with Zero Dosage (sugar) and low sulphur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Would pair well with a venison tartare, celeriac puree and radish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCould this be your first low sulphur champagne?
