The vineyards are ploughed traditionally by horse and some of the oldest vines go back to the early 1930's. They use full malolactic fermentation, extended lees ageing and 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 other champagnes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMore About House De Sousa\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHouse De Sousa experienced quite a lot of turmoil since their beginning in the early 1930s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis house has been in the De Sousa family for 3 generations and founding father Manuel endured an significant amount of grief before planting the first vines that would later grow into the grapes for their signature fine tasting champagne that is now enjoyed in various countries. Manuel fought in Verdun and died of gas in 1929 leaving behind his widow to take care of the four second-generation house members.

You are looking at a belnd of 50% Chardonnay, 30% pinot noir and 20% pinot meunier coming from excellent sites across Avize, Oger, Grauves and Cumieres. Most of De Sousa wines are certified Organic and 'Chemins des Terroirs' is a part of the estate that is in conversion to Organic. As with all De Sousa wines, they have careful consideration to their soil and manual handling of grapes at harvest.
About The House
The De Sousa family are based in the Grand Cru village of Avize in the Côte Des Blancs. 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.
Technical Details
Coming from several Grand & Premier Cru parcels with 40% reserve wines added. This is Extra Brut at 5 g/L. This remains unfined and unfiltered so a small deposit may occur. Disgorged: 22 / 11 / 21
Food Pairings
An antipasto board primarily with fresh cuts like salami and proscuitto plus some soft cheese. I personally like it with some crispy fish and chips with a little tartare sauce and fresh lemon.
