Description

Product description for De Sousa et Fils Cuvée Mycorhize Grand Cru Extra Brut 2018 (bio)

Wine Information

Champagne from more than 60-year-old Chardonnay vines from the single vineyard Les Hauts Nemery in Avize, which has long been cultivated organically and biodynamically and farmed with horses. The base wine is spontaneously fermented in oak barrels and aged on the lees. The 2018 vintage was dosed as an Extra Brut at 3 g/l. It is topped up to 25% from a Reserve Perpetual. The bottle was disgorged on May 17, 2022.

Colour

Medium straw yellow with relaxed mousse.

Nose

The Grand Cru Mycorhize Extra Brut 2018 smells of lemon curd and lemon peel, fresh apples and a touch of white peach, freshly baked bread, and a hint of white nougat and nuts. Limestone and chalk can also be detected in the bright, clear, and refined nose, as can linden blossoms and acacia pollen.

Palate

On the palate, the Blanc de Blancs is powerful, structured, and concentrated, yet punchy, cool, and citrusy, with notes of ripe apples, pears, and some red berries. Above all, the champagne possesses a great deal of energy and finesse, appearing floating, clear, and bright, slightly iodine-flavoured and peppery, chalky and mineral. What makes it so special, however, is the balance of power and subtlety, a very subtle, elegant sweetness and a subtle tartness that suits it very well.
