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.

It’s made from relatively young vines, planted between 1995 and 2000, and unusually, Gautherot ages this wine on its fine lees for about nine months together with a healthy amount of fresh grapes, in order to give it a greater depth of flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottle was disgorged in September of 2019, and from the nose alone it’s immediately evident that this isn’t chardonnay: its aromas veer towards crab apple, guava, mangosteen and litchi peel, turning to stone fruit and exotic citrus on the palate. While it’s clearly ripe, even opulently so, it’s surprisingly delicate in body, demonstrating a notable grace and poise.

Run by the Chiquet family since purchasing the property in 1978, brothers Jean-Herve and Laurent are at the helm and creating a different form of magic in their region of Dizy. Have you ever considered yourself a bit of a 'rebel' or a non-conformist at heart? Are you a perfectionist with ridiculous attention to detail? If so, you will comfortably align with the philosophy and beliefs of the Chiquet brothers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost, in fact all champagne houses create a non-vintage blend which aims at having a consistent ‘house-style’ year in year out, blending across multiple vintages and reserves to make the wine homogenous even if the year brings in extraordinary fruit. To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style so instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from making their ‘NV’ given the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead. The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts and the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles.

Run by the Chiquet family since purchasing the property in 1978, brothers Jean-Herve and Laurent are at the helm and creating a different form of magic in their region of Dizy. Have you ever considered yourself a bit of a 'rebel' or a non-conformist at heart? Are you a perfectionist with ridiculous attention to detail?

To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style so instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from making their ‘NV’ given the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead. The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts and the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles.

Extra Brut

NV

Landreville

- Certified Organic grower from the Côte des Bar in the South of Champagne - No sulphur, natural approach to winemaking - Pair with some washed rind cheese and sourdough. What to expect from this organic delight? Charles Dufour Stillleben #8 "Very accessible already with red apples, tropical fruit and plenty of more red fruits. It’s a blend of 60% Pinot noir, 30% Chardonnay & 10% Pinot Blanc (base 2016 + wine from 2010 right through to 2015). Really enjoyed this bottle and besides the fruitiness that was very dominant it had some oxidative notes in the background, nice minerality and a floral touch." Sourced from our friend @champagneweathers on IG. About the house Charles Dufour is an considered one of the most important figures for organic champagne production. He is a vigneron from Côte des Bar in the village of Landreville. Charles Dufour is a wine grower representing a new generation of small vignerons. He started producing high quality Champagne in 2006 in the family business, then he decided to convert to organic agriculture, conversion completed with the harvesting in 2010. All grapes for his new line Charles Dufour - Les Vignes du 7 are now strictly certified. Charles' purist choice is not limited to the elimination of chemicals in the field, it also affects the vinification process, even though it is a very complicated one for Champagne. This is Charles Dufour's recipe for an authentic Champagne, able to reflect the terroir of the Côte with a round taste, before being successful Champagnes View more details

To say that Gass works artisanally is an understatement: his methods are essentially those used a hundred years ago, and visiting his small winery on the rue Poincaré is practically like stepping into a time machine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGass owns just one hectare of vines, divided between seven parcels and all farmed organically. He plants all three varieties: while meunier is the predominant grape in this sector of the Vallée de la Marne, it represents a minority in Gass’s vineyards, as he favors pinot noir for its greater ageability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe presses his grapes in a traditional vertical press, and after a \u003ci\u003edébourbage\u003c\/i\u003e in old, enameled steel tanks, the must goes into barrels for native-yeast fermentation. His barrels, formerly used at Bollinger, date from 1937, and while they were rejected by the house for being too old, Gass thinks they’re perfect. “I’m not only aging wine in barrel,” he says, “I’m putting grape juice in these barrels to ferment, and they ferment new wine every year. So the older the barrels, the better they are.” It’s not only the barrels that are old, either: Gass does all of his racking and other winery operations by hand, and the tools that he uses are as ancient as his barrels are, making his cellar seem almost like a museum, albeit a fully functioning one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn keeping with historical tradition, Gass’s wines don’t go through malolactic, and their acidities can be notably high by modern standards. However, he doesn’t see this as a problem, due to his winemaking methods. “The old barrels round out the wine and balance the acidity,” he says. “On paper, a wine with this sort of acidity is supposed to be undrinkable, but my wines are fine.” The wines eventually see a light isinglass fining, but they undergo no filtration, cold-stabilization or any other operation before bottling.

To say that Gass works artisanally is an understatement: his methods are essentially those used a hundred years ago, and visiting his small winery on the rue Poincaré is practically like stepping into a time machine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGass owns just one hectare of vines, divided between seven parcels and all farmed organically. He plants all three varieties: while meunier is the predominant grape in this sector of the Vallée de la Marne, it represents a minority in Gass’s vineyards, as he favors pinot noir for its greater ageability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe presses his grapes in a traditional vertical press, and after a \u003ci\u003edébourbage\u003c\/i\u003e in old, enameled steel tanks, the must goes into barrels for native-yeast fermentation. His barrels, formerly used at Bollinger, date from 1937, and while they were rejected by the house for being too old, Gass thinks they’re perfect. “I’m not only aging wine in barrel,” he says, “I’m putting grape juice in these barrels to ferment, and they ferment new wine every year. So the older the barrels, the better they are.” It’s not only the barrels that are old, either: Gass does all of his racking and other winery operations by hand, and the tools that he uses are as ancient as his barrels are, making his cellar seem almost like a museum, albeit a fully functioning one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn keeping with historical tradition, Gass’s wines don’t go through malolactic, and their acidities can be notably high by modern standards. However, he doesn’t see this as a problem, due to his winemaking methods. “The old barrels round out the wine and balance the acidity,” he says. “On paper, a wine with this sort of acidity is supposed to be undrinkable, but my wines are fine.” The wines eventually see a light isinglass fining, but they undergo no filtration, cold-stabilization or any other operation before bottling.
