Wine Description:
De Sousa's Mycorhize Extra Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Avize' is an exquisite embodiment of the unique terroir of Avize, a renowned Grand Cru village in the Côte des Blancs, celebrated for its exceptional Chardonnay vines. This Champagne is a testament to the De Sousa family's deep-rooted commitment to biodynamic viticulture, with the Mycorhize referring to the beneficial mycorrhizal fungi that form symbiotic relationships with the vine roots, enhancing the natural resilience and terroir expression of the grapes. Crafted exclusively from hand-picked Chardonnay grapes, this Extra Brut Champagne undergoes meticulous winemaking processes to preserve the purity and complexity of its fruit. The minimal addition of dosage allows the wine's natural character and the minerality of Avize's chalky soils to shine through, reflecting Erick De Sousa's philosophy of harmony with nature and dedication to expressing the essence of place.

Wine Expert Note:

De Sousa's Mycorhize Extra Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Avize' dazzles with a pale golden color and a delicate mousse that gracefully ascends the glass, revealing an intricate dance of bubbles. The nose is greeted with a vibrant bouquet of white flowers, green apple, and citrus zest, complemented by nuanced hints of brioche and almond, a nod to its aging on lees. On the palate, this Champagne is strikingly pure and focused, offering a crisp, linear acidity that carries flavors of lemon, pear, and mineral undertones, leading to a long, refined finish that encapsulates the elegance and precision of Grand Cru Chardonnay
