Description

De Sousa's Champagne Chemins Des Terroirs is a natural wine from vineyards that grow on clay soils in the Vallée de La Marne, France . This champagne comes from Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Nero grapes.

Tasting notes

In the glass it has a straw yellow color with light green reflections. On the nose it has citrus, apple and pear confit aromas. In the mouth it is characterized by a good balance between warmth and freshness, with a good persistence.

It is excellent to sip during an aperitif, to accompany land appetizers.

Processing

After the manual harvest of the grapes, the Champagne ferments in steel and is strengthened by 30% of reserve wines from 2-3 previous harvests. Finally, its refinement lasts from 3 to 5 years.
