Organic Champagne
Organic viticulture enables the plants to fortify its resistance to certain diseases through organic treatments. For example, nitrogen fixing plants to pull air into the soil, growing cover crops to attracts insects - a natural remedy for farming problems, or having small sheep graze the grass and weeds between the vine rows. The challenge however in a region like Champagne lies in its dual climatic influence. Sitting at the most northerly latitude, it is swayed by both maritime and continental weather. The regions’ tempestuous climate can wreak havoc on the vineyards and so it is necessary to use certain treatments otherwise this can prove fatal to crops.

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\u003ch2\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComing from 4 Grand Cru parcels with 40% reserve wines added.

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.

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. Although not organic, they are very hands-on in the vineyard and more non-interventionist in the winery which means, lower sulphur, low sugar addition (extra brut) across the range and no filtration which upholds both body and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend top quality Caviar such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gourmetlife.com.au\/collections\/caviar\/products\/black-river-siberian-caviar-imperial-100gr\" title=\"Black River Russian Caviar Josh Rea Gourmet life\"\u003eBlack River Russian Caviar\u003c\/a\u003e from Siberia and lots of it.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-07-30T11:39:37+10:00","created_at":"2021-07-29T16:53:56+10:00","vendor":"Jacquesson","type":"Vintage","tags":["Blanc de blancs","chardonnay-dominant","Extra Brut","gift guide","Grower","Magnum","Marne Valley","New Arrival","Rare Collection","Rare Collections","Region: Dizy","Size: 1.5L","Size: Magnum","spo-default","spo-disabled","Taste: Chardonnay Dominant","Taste: Citrus","Taste: Fresh","Taste: Mineral","Taste: Organic","Taste: Wet Stone","Varieties: Chardonnay","Year: 2008"],"price":95000,"price_min":95000,"price_max":95000,"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":39472467738733,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"JACQUESSON-DIZY-08-MAG","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":28281955844205,"product_id":6612616970349,"position":3,"created_at":"2021-07-29T16:54:26+10:00","updated_at":"2021-07-29T16:55:05+10:00","alt":"Jacquesson-Extra-Brut-Dizy-Corne-Bautray-Recolte-2008-Box-Emperor-Champagne","width":540,"height":1080,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/Jacquesson-Extra-Brut-Dizy-Corne-Bautray-Recolte-2008-Box-Emperor-Champagne.jpg?v=1627541705","variant_ids":[39472467738733]},"available":true,"name":"Jacquesson Dizy Corne Bautray Récolte '08 Magnum (1.5L) Champagne -

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.

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. 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\u003eTechnical Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMade using maceration method (\"Saignée\").
