| Color | Golden, with green overtones. Leaves a long-lasting "necklace" of small bubbles at the surface. Impressive limpidity. |
| Perfume | The intense nose is evidence of a striking maturity. In addition to notes of fresh roasted coffee, eucalyptus and dried fruit, there is a very expressive floral character. |
| Taste | The palate is very round with honeyed accents. While the dosage is apparent, the result is well-balanced. The finish is long and delightfully refreshing. |
| Pairings | Sea food, cheese, salty crackers, fish. |

Description
Organic, extra brut, classic method Champagne produced by De Sousa in the Champagne region, 2021 vintage. A Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs that expresses the purity of Chardonnay and the elegance of its terroir. A beautiful, elegant, very "champagne-like" nose, perfectly representative of the variety masterfully cultivated in the Côte des Blancs. It's mineral, very fresh, floral (broom) but also rounded with tropical fruit.

This is a fine and enlightened winemaker, but also a very talented winemaker, so today its about 75,000 bottles produced are currently literally fought over by enthusiasts. The De Sousa family owns 11 hectares subdivided into 42 parcels, planted with 8,000 plants / ha and with an average age of 45 years. Since 1989, Erick has started converting vines to AB (Agriculture Biologique), ending in 1999, and using the horse instead of tractors. It is, in short, a true "bio", but it is far from the slogans and, above all, it is with such skill that its champagne are neither rustic nor improbable.
In the cellar, the grapes are fermented partly in steel and partly in barrique, using only indigenous yeasts when possible. De Sousa produces an additional 30,000 bottles with the most accessible Zoémie De Sousa brand. Read more
