Description

Product description for De Sousa et Fils Chemins des Terroirs Extra Brut NV

The Chemins des Terroirs is an excellent showcase for the purist style of the house. A cross-section of the various vineyards (in transition to biodynamic farming) is presented in this wine within a classic blend of 50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 20% Pinot Meunier.

Colour

The wine presents itself clear and brilliant in the glass with a joyfully rising, slowly receding head and small-bubble perlage in light white gold.

Nose

Densely interwoven and multi-layered, the aromas of this cuvée of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier captivate the palate. A pleasant scent of freshly baked croissants, shortcrust pastry, and biscuits tickles the nose. This is accompanied by unobtrusive fruit and floral aromas. Physalis, peach skin, and yellow pear are refreshed by a touch of kumquat zest. The fragrant lightness of lemon verbena, basil, and nana mint contribute herbal freshness to the enticing overall picture, while nutty notes of pecans ground the palate.

Palate

The refreshing plunge into cool water after a hot sunbath; then a swim and a breath of fresh air… The delicate and balanced, yet vitalizing perlage of the De Sousa family’s Chemins des Terroirs Brut dances playfully and caressingly across the palate. The citrusy freshness of the nose is reinforced by a tense acidity. With a dosage of 7g per liter, this champagne derives its grounded structure and lingering length from its stone-carved minerality, as well as the range and comfort of a cavalier baritone. I have always preferred the
