The expression of the terroir
The Cote des Blancs is known for its chalky soil, which gives the champagnes finesse, elegance, and minerality. They have kept old vines of more than 70 years, their advantage is to have roots much deeper
(40 meters in the chalk) and thus to go and find the minerality.
Committed for several years to a process of organic and biodynamic culture, the house of DE SOUSA obtained its certification in 2010, assuring the consumer that the rules have been followed.
The Love of the Land
Part of the vineyard is worked with the horse to avoid soil compaction. Vidoc and Capucine are Julie's two new draft horses.
Respect for the vine and the earth is the priority for this family of winegrowers, whose only goal is to achieve the sublimation of champagne.
The Art of Winemaking
The wine is stirred regularly during the maturation of wood to give it fatness and depth. The wine is not filtered and benefits only from a low SO2 contribution, the indigenous yeasts are used for the first fermentation.
Quartz, which is found in the vat room, delivers an anti-oxidant message, it thus participates in the excellent balance of the room. It will contribute to the better development of the aromas and especially to a good balance between reduction and oxidation.
OVUM
The Maison Champenoise De SOUSA could not miss the latest creation of Taransaud, a specialist in large containers.
Indeed, this one has just conceived an ovoid lightning that resumes the proportions of the famous golden number.
