De Sousa Cuvée des Caudalies Millésimée Grand Cru Avize

De Sousa Cuvée des Caudalies Millésimée Grand Cru Avize is a refined Blanc de Blancs Champagne that showcases the precision and elegance of Chardonnay from one of the Côte des Blancs’ most sought-after Grand Cru villages. Made from a single vintage and sourced from old vines in Avize, it offers a clear expression of terroir, depth, and age-worthy structure that sets it apart from non-vintage cuvées.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shines with a brilliant golden hue and a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is layered and expressive, opening with ripe citrus, white flowers, and toasted almonds, followed by a subtle chalky minerality that speaks to its Avize origin. On the palate, the wine is elegant and beautifully balanced, with lively acidity and a creamy texture. Flavors of lemon, pear, and green apple are lifted by notes of brioche, nuts, and a delicate saline edge, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish with a faint spicy nuance. Thanks to its structure and Grand Cru pedigree, it has excellent aging potential and should develop even more complexity over time.

Production
This Champagne comes from the Grand Cru vineyards of Avize in the Côte des Blancs, where chalk-rich soils and a cool climate provide ideal conditions for Chardonnay. The vines are biodynamically farmed, and the use of old-vine fruit adds concentration and complexity. As a vintage cuvée, it is crafted from grapes harvested in a single exceptional year and vinified to preserve freshness, precision, and the character of the terroir.

Food & Serving
Serve this Champagne well chilled, ideally at 8–10°C, to highlight its freshness and finesse. It makes an elegant aperitif and pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, sashimi, grilled white fish, and refined soft cheeses. Decanting is not usually necessary, though a short aeration in the glass can help раскры its deeper aromatic layers.
