Champagne De Sousa

Caudalies

The Champagne Caudalies by De Sousa is a Blanc de Blancs crafted exclusively from Chardonnay sourced from old vines over 50 years of age, located in the prestigious Grand Cru villages of Avize, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Cramant in the CĂ´te des Blancs. The deep roots in the chalky soils impart a vibrant minerality and crystalline elegance, an authentic expression of the terroir.

Vinification takes place entirely in 225-liter oak barrels, a portion of which are new, with an aging period of about 10 months that enhances the wine’s structure and aromatic complexity. The blend includes around 50% of Réserve Perpétuelle aged in wood, providing depth and stylistic continuity. After bottling for the secondary fermentation, the wine matures on the lees for a minimum of 5 years, developing harmony and persistence. The low dosage, in Extra Brut style, preserves freshness and precision.

On the palate, Caudalies displays an extremely fine and consistent mousse; the nose reveals ripe citrus fruit, white flowers, toasted hazelnut, and delicate hints of brioche. The palate is creamy, supported by incisive freshness and a saline minerality that accompanies a long, elegant finish.

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.
