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 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 cuvées, they have a range including a ‘Sulphur 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\"\u003eWe love the sheer juiciness and fruit drive in this wine with a little tannic grip, so we thought let's go with a seared tuna steak or any variation of duck you may like.\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Only natural fertilizers are used to treat the vineyards (it’s been over a decade since Michel has eradicated all use of herbicides).

Along with the rebranding, he has renamed all of his cuvées as well, and the new collection comprises eight champagnes, grouped into three categories: Les Classiques, Les Mutines and Les Virtuoses.\" Peter Liem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-08-28T15:09:40+10:00","created_at":"2019-08-28T14:53:50+10:00","vendor":"Apollonis","type":"Vintage","tags":["Exclusive","Grower","Kyri's Selection","Music","Premier Cru","Region: Festigny","Reserve Wines","Sustainable","Taste: 5 Years on Lees","Taste: Barrel-maturation","Taste: Citrus","Taste: Creamy","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Pastry","Taste: Pinot Meunier Dominant","Taste: Smokey","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Texture","Vintage","Year: 2008"],"price":14995,"price_min":14995,"price_max":14995,"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":29829048303725,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"APOLONIS_MONO_08","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":12346340442221,"product_id":4016292429933,"position":1,"created_at":"2019-08-28T15:14:22+10:00","updated_at":"2019-08-28T15:14:30+10:00","alt":"Apollonis-cuvee-monodie-vielles-vignes-2008-emperor-champagne","width":800,"height":1650,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Apollonis-cuvee-monodie-vielles-vignes-2008-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1566969270","variant_ids":[29829048303725]},"available":true,"name":"Apollonis 'Monodie' Vielles Vignes '08 - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":14995,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":3,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"3588760000319","featured_media":{"alt":"Apollonis-cuvee-monodie-vielles-vignes-2008-emperor-champagne","id":3208728969325,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.485,"height":1650,"width":800,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Apollonis-cuvee-monodie-vielles-vignes-2008-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1570113319"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Apollonis-cuvee-monodie-vielles-vignes-2008-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1566969270"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Apollonis-cuvee-monodie-vielles-vignes-2008-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1566969270","options":["Please Select"],"media":[{"alt":"Apollonis-cuvee-monodie-vielles-vignes-2008-emperor-champagne","id":3208728969325,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.485,"height":1650,"width":800,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Apollonis-cuvee-monodie-vielles-vignes-2008-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1570113319"},"aspect_ratio":0.485,"height":1650,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Apollonis-cuvee-monodie-vielles-vignes-2008-emperor-champagne.jpg?v=1570113319","width":800}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Made with vines dating back to 1942 and aged using music\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- All made from the fantastic 10\/10 rated year of 2008 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Pair with richer dishes like spiced pork ribs paella.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The finest wine of the estate, though, is the Pinot Meunier Vieilles Vignes, now renamed as Monodie en Meunier Majeur.

Music plays a role in the aging of the wines as well—Loriot believes that its vibrations make a positive contribution to the texture and finesse of the wine as it ages, and he has installed speakers throughout his cellars. Along with the rebranding, he has renamed all of his cuvées as well, and the new collection comprises eight champagnes, grouped into three categories: Les Classiques, Les Mutines and Les Virtuoses.\" Peter Liem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\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.

His approach to making his champagne is to assess each year as it presents itself as opposed to a pre-determined recipe. Using a prescribed approach is restrictive to the true nature of the wine. He is a proponent of blocking malolactic fermentation, as he wants to preserve what he describes as ‘fruit freshness’ and not just acidity. Lastly, he says of being an Artisan: \u003cem\u003e“Under the banner \"Artisan of Champagne\", the \u003cstrong\u003ehuman value\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003epredominant\u003c\/strong\u003e and it is the one that \u003cstrong\u003eunites the group\u003c\/strong\u003e. On this base, there is also the \u003cstrong\u003epassion of the terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e and the way everyone interprets it.” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing mineral-rich and having quite the body and lots of texture, you could partner this with a variety of dishes. Earthy roast potatoes and herb-roasted chicken with steamed green beans would highlight some of the key notes in the wine. Roast Pork, poultry and game would all fit the bill too.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
