The nose opens with citrus, green apple, and white flowers, followed by a gentle toasted note that adds extra complexity.\n\nOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Champagne works beautifully as an aperitif, but it also pairs well with seafood, poultry, and soft or lightly aged cheeses.
