De Sousa Champagne Grand Cru 3A Extra Brut
The name indicates the three Grand Cru villages of Avize, Aÿ and Ambonnay, whose grapes contribute 50%, 25% and again 25% respectively. Again, these are old vines, planted as far back as the 1950s.

Bouquet

After a parade of great Chardonnays, the olfactory approach completely changes register to offer, still in a dry and fresh context, sweetness of fruit that goes as far as strawberry grapes, hints of bread and the typical acidic note of Pinot Noir.

Flavour

The attack on the palate is very nice, soft, with a very fine bubble (which, indeed, is somewhat of a characteristic of the producer) that opens up to fruity returns and a refreshing acidity that is still fruity. To be honest, it does not yet appear to be a perfectly integrated wine, as it is more broad than deep, but it is undoubtedly very tasty.
