Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2010 Cuvée des Caudalies Grand Cru Extra Brut shows a very clear, complex, expressive and highly mineral (or chalky) nose that dominates the ripe and concentrated yet very delicate fruit (100% old vines Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs) and gives this cuvée its unique expression. Intense, round and fruity on the palate, this is a highly finessed and elegant yet persistent and mineral Caudalies that reveals great purity, finesse and freshness on the finish. This is not powerful at all but is delicate, fresh, refined and charming, leaving the palate with a stimulatingly salty purity and tensioned minerality. This is a great, highly charming and seductive Blanc de Blancs that was bottled in July 2011 and disgorged in January 2017 with a dosage of four grams per liter. Tasted in Reims, April 2018.

Features

Description

De Sousa Cuvée des Caudalies Grand Cru Brut Millesimé is a sublime expression of viticulture and oenology. This wine is a testament to the quality and care taken in its production. Produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes from vineyards over 50 years old, this champagne represents the essence of the Côte des Blancs Grand Cru region.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring that only the best are selected. Vinification takes place in oak barrels, where the wine spends 10 months maturing, giving it a unique complexity and structure. This process is complemented by a natural approach, avoiding filtration and using indigenous yeasts. The result is a wine with a distinctive character and an authentic expression of its terroir.
De Sousa Cuvée des Caudalies is remarkable for its Extra-Brut dosage, with only 3 grams per litre, which underlines its dry and refined profile. This approach highlights the purity and intensity of the grape's natural flavours.

Taste

The taste of De Sousa Cuvée des Caudalies Grand Cru Brut is a true celebration of elegance and complexity. It is characterised by an impressive aromatic breadth, with notes of ripe yellow fruits such as mirabelle and pineapple, intertwined with nuances of honey and ginger. The palate experience is rich and enveloping, offering a silky texture and remarkable persistence. The finesse of its bubbles, together with its balance and depth of flavour, make each sip a memorable experience.
This wine is ideal to accompany a variety of dishes, from seafood and fish to white meats and cured cheeses. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for both special occasions and more informal occasions. With an ageing potential of 8 to 15 years, this champagne is not only an immediate delight, but also a promise of future pleasures.
