De Sousa Tradition Extra-Brut Avize

De Sousa Tradition Extra-Brut Avize is a Grand Cru Champagne that captures the purity and precision of Avize in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. Crafted by Champagne De Sousa, it combines Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier in a style that balances freshness, depth, and elegance, while reflecting the house’s long-standing commitment to biodynamic viticulture and quality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a clear, bright golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with citrus, green apple, and white flowers, followed by a gentle toasted note that adds extra complexity. On the palate, it is refined and well balanced, with lively acidity, a generous texture, and flavors of lemon, pear, peach, brioche, and a touch of nuts. The finish is long, graceful, and distinctly mineral, carrying the signature freshness of Avize. It has good cellaring potential, though it is already very expressive now.

Production
The grapes come from Grand Cru vineyards in Avize, where the chalk-rich soils of the Côte des Blancs lend the wine its tension and mineral character. De Sousa works with biodynamic methods, aiming to preserve vineyard health and natural balance. Harvesting is done carefully to ensure optimal ripeness, and the vinification is designed to highlight both purity and complexity in the finished Champagne.

Food & Serving
This Champagne works beautifully as an aperitif, but it also pairs well with seafood, poultry, and soft or lightly aged cheeses. Serve chilled, ideally at 8–10°C, to preserve its freshness and fine mousse. Decanting is not recommended; simply open and enjoy to capture its lively, precise character.
