Champagne De Sousa Avec le Temps Grand Cru Extra Brut

Avec le Temps Grand Cru from De Sousa is a Blanc de Blancs, composed entirely of Chardonnay from Grand Cru terroirs in the Côte des Blancs, principally Avize and Oger. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, certified Demeter, promoting living soils and deep roots which contribute to a saline mineral character. Vinification takes place primarily in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness. The wine undergoes a minimum of 24 months ageing on lees. It is bottled with an extra brut dosage of approximately 5 g/L, maintaining the vibrancy and clarity of the terroir expression. The aromatic profile includes white flowers, Meyer lemon, fresh apple, combined with toasted brioche, almond and hazelnut. The overall structure emphasises purity, chalky minerality and restrained elegance.
