De Sousa Extra Brut Reserve Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru [JS93 WA92 D91]

De Sousa Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru is a sophisticated Champagne crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in France’s esteemed Champagne region. Hailing from renowned Grand Cru villages like Avize, Oger, and Cramant, this non-vintage sparkling wine combines elegance and complexity for a truly memorable experience. Biodynamically farmed with Demeter certification, it reflects a commitment to sustainable winemaking that enhances both flavor and environmental stewardship.

On the nose, this Champagne reveals an aromatic tapestry of citrus—think zesty lemon and candied orange—intertwined with hints of orchard fruit and white flowers. A subtle yeastiness adds depth, while menthol and spice notes offer an intriguing twist. The palate delivers a rich yet balanced profile: creamy texture meets vibrant acidity for a mouth-filling sip that’s both fleshy and refreshing. The finish is marked by mineral-driven freshness and chalky nuances, showcasing the terroir’s unique character.

De Sousa’s meticulous attention to detail shines through its production process. Disgorged in 2021 (NV vintage) after careful aging, this Blanc de Blancs boasts a fine pinpoint mousse that elevates its sophistication. With a dosage of just 6g/l, it strikes a harmonious balance between sweetness and crispness, appealing to both casual drinkers and Champagne connoisseurs alike.
