Description

Product description for De Sousa et Fils Coteaux Champenois, Rouge AOC 2020 (bio)

The Côteaux Champenois Rouge from De Sousa is made from 100% Pinot Noir and comes from approximately 70-year-old vineyards planted in the heart of the Montagne de Reims in the Grand Cru commune of Ambonnay. The grapes were harvested by hand, fermented spontaneously, and vinified with gentle maceration and pumping over for 8 days, followed by aging in wooden barrels for approximately 12 months. Exactly 347 bottles were produced in the 2020 vintage.

Colour

Dark ruby red with garnet reflections.

Nose

The focus of the 2020 Côteaux Champenois Rouge from Champagne de Sousa is undoubtedly on the concentrated, extract-rich red fruit that shines from the glass like a high-performance lighthouse. Wild raspberries, red currants, and tart cranberries outline the joyful red fruitiness and are complemented by pomegranate syrup and subtle spicy notes.

Palate

On the palate, the rich red fruit is fanned out by the wine’s agile and equally broad acidity, which comprehensively determines the texture. Latitude and terroir are clearly recognizable; the wine’s texture speaks limestone, unfiltered. The wine’s cool nature allows red fruit aromas like sour cherry and currant to dominate, while the tannins are tightly knit and delicate. Should develop magnificently over the next 5–7 years.
