De Sousa
12 PLACE LEON BOURGEOIS 51190 AVIZE
The De Sousa house in Avize resembles the old vines that it has managed to preserve for more than half a century.
Their roots go deep into the history of the Côte des Blancs.
They nourish vintages which are a tribute to this exceptional terroir and a family with affirmed values: respect for the land, love of a job well done, quality and innovation.
A pioneer, Erick De Sousa knew how to make the apparent postcards of the past the game full of advantages of the future.
“It is not enough to have a great terroir, it is necessary to respect it and allow the vine to express its character”
Since the 1995 vintage and on old vines over 50 years old, vinification has been carried out in small oak barrels to give the wine some fat.
Established in the heart of the prestigious Côte des Blancs for three generations, on terroirs classified as Grands Crus such as Avize, Cramant, Oger and Mesnil / Oger. Its terroirs benefit from an ideal south, south-east orientation , with maximum sunshine.
The chalky subsoil transmits to our champagnes, finesse , elegance and a beautiful minerality
