De Sousa Cuvée des Caudalies {1995 > 2017} Grand Cru Avize

De Sousa Cuvée des Caudalies Grand Cru Avize is a refined Blanc de Blancs Champagne made entirely from Chardonnay grown in the prestigious Grand Cru vineyards of Avize in the Côte des Blancs. Its name, “Caudalies,” refers to the lingering finish after each sip, a fitting tribute to a cuvée known for its precision, depth, and remarkable length. With fruit from old vines and a biodynamic approach in the vineyard, this is a Champagne that captures both place and craftsmanship beautifully.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, it shows a bright, luminous golden color with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with layered aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, toasted almonds, and a subtle chalky minerality that reflects its Avize origin. On the palate, it is elegant and well balanced, combining fresh acidity with a creamy, textured mouthfeel. Flavors of lemon, green apple, white peach, and a delicate brioche note unfold into a long, saline finish with striking mineral drive. While already expressive, it has the structure and complexity to develop beautifully with additional cellar time.

Viininvalmistus
This Champagne comes from Grand Cru vineyards in Avize, one of the most admired villages in the Côte des Blancs, where chalk-rich soils and a cool climate give Chardonnay its tension, purity, and finesse. The vines are old, some around 50 years of age, contributing concentration and depth to the fruit. De Sousa farms biodynamically, favoring a natural and sustainable viticultural philosophy, and the grapes are vinified with care to preserve the distinctive character of the terroir.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
Ideal as an aperitif, this Champagne also pairs wonderfully with oysters, shellfish, ceviche, fine fish dishes, and other delicate seafood preparations. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C. Decanting is not recommended; instead, open shortly before serving to preserve its freshness and fine mousse.
