Champagne De Sousa

Cuvée 3A

The Champagne Cuvée 3A by De Sousa is the result of an exclusive blend combining three of the most prestigious Grand Cru villages in Champagne: Avize (50% Chardonnay), Aÿ (25% Pinot Noir) and Ambonnay (25% Pinot Noir). The vines, cultivated according to organic and biodynamic principles, are rooted in chalk and clay soils, precisely expressing the personality of each terroir. The name “3A” is a direct tribute to these three outstanding appellations.

Vinification takes place partly in oak barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks, with spontaneous fermentation from indigenous yeasts. After bottling, the wine undergoes ageing on the lees for over 24 months, developing aromatic richness and palate complexity. The restrained dosage, in Extra Brut style, preserves freshness and purity of expression, maintaining a perfect balance between mineral tension and roundness.

On the palate, Cuvée 3A displays a pale gold hue with copper highlights. The nose reveals citrus notes of lemon and pineapple, exotic hints of mango and a buttery touch, intertwined with delicate aromas of red fruits such as blackcurrant and raspberry. The palate is broad and velvety, supported by fine minerality and persistent freshness, leading to a precise and elegant finish that reflects the harmony of the three Grands Crus.

De Sousa

Champagne De Sousa was founded in the late 1950s by Antoine and Zoémie De Sousa in Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. In 1986, their son Erick took over the estate, adopting a natural and pioneering approach. Biodynamic conversion began in 1999, with organic certification in 2010 and Demeter certification in 2013, establishing the Domaine among the most virtuous in Champagne.

The Domaine covers around 10 hectares, located mainly in the Grand Cru villages of Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant, and Oger, with vines averaging 45 years of age. Soil management involves light ploughing, sometimes with horses, to preserve microbial life and minerality. Winemaking relies on indigenous yeasts, natural temperature control, bâtonnage, and manual remuage, while blends are crafted to express each parcel and terroir.

Passed away in 2023 at the age of 59, Erick De Sousa leaves a legacy carried on by his children Charlotte, Julie, and Valentin, who passionately continue their father’s philosophy. The respect for nature, artisanal winemaking, moderate use of oak barrels (5% new), and focus on the identity of each cuvée remain unchanged, keeping alive the authentic spirit of De Sousa.
