Vendor code : 1731
We offer access to Champagne De Sousa Mycorhize Grand Cru Extra Brut — rarely available on the open market.
De Sousa Mycorhize is a Grand Cru Champagne from Les Hauts Nemery, Avize, composed solely of Chardonnay. The vineyard’s chalk soils and vine age exceeding 80 years contribute to natural concentration and structure. Managed by organic and biodynamic principles with horse-drawn ploughing, the fruit is hand-harvested and fermented entirely in oak barrels. The wine undergoes no filtration or fining and includes 25% reserve wine maintained in permanent stocks. Dosage is set at 4 g/L. The resulting profile is marked by mineral clarity and defined aromas of almond, acacia, linden, honey, and a subtle raspberry element. This Champagne expresses precision and terroir-driven energy aligned with the Avize hillside.

Wine Advocate
The NV Mycorhize Grand Cru Extra Brut (V13) is a 100% barrel-fermented Chardonnay from old vines in Avize and Oger that are cultivated with a horse. The latest issue of this cuvée is based on the 2013 vintage (V13) that was bottled in July 2014 and disgorged in January 2017. The wine offers a very clear, deep and complex bouquet with a flinty-mineral expression and very fine bright fruit aromas. Very clear, fresh and mineral on the palate, this is a highly elegant, firm and expressive Côte des Blancs with great definition and length. The dosage is just perfect, as the finish reveals ripe and concentrated yet still delicate and fresh fruit aromas. A gorgeous wine with lingering salinity!
