NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The De Sousa Tradition Brut Champagne Grand Cru 'Avize' greets the senses with an inviting bouquet of green apple, brioche, and a hint of almond.Upon sipping, the wine’s fine perlage dances across the palate, releasing complex flavors of lemon zest, pear, and a whisper of minerality that echoes its Grand Cru terroir. Aged on lees, its texture is sumptuously creamy, yet its crisp acidity ensures a well-balanced experience. The finish lingers gracefully, leaving a final note of toasted hazelnut. A harmonious blend of depth and elegance, this Champagne is the epitome of sophistication and a true testament to De Sousa's mastery.
