The Caudalies Grand Cru is a powerful and refined Demeter-certified Blanc de Blancs. Crafted exclusively from 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay grapes sourced from vines aged over 50 years, this exceptional cuvée reflects both tradition and innovation in biodynamic viticulture.
A unique feature of this vineyard is that part of it is still ploughed by horses, emphasizing the house’s commitment to sustainable, biodynamic practices. The wine undergoes extended vinification in 100% oak barrels, enhancing its complexity, depth, and rich texture.
The blend is composed of 50% current-year base wine and 50% perpetual reserve (Solera) dating back to 1995, offering a remarkable balance of freshness and maturity. The result is a Champagne with delicate oak nuances and ripe yellow fruit aromas. Caudalies is powerful, ripe, and dry, culminating in a long-lasting, pure finish that showcases the signature precision of Champagne De Sousa.

DOSAGE
Champagne De Sousa - Independent Winemakers Since 1950
Rooted in the Grand Cru vineyards of Avize, Champagne De Sousa is a family-owned house with a rich heritage spanning three generations. Deeply connected to the land, the De Sousa family believes that great champagne begins in the vineyard. Since the beginning, they have been pioneers in biodynamic viticulture, working in harmony with nature to enhance soil vitality and express the true character of their terroirs.
Their hands-on, respectful approach—using horse plowing, natural composts, and lunar cycles—results in wines of purity, energy, and remarkable depth. At De Sousa, sustainability isn't a trend; it's a long-standing way of life, driven by passion, integrity, and a profound respect for the earth.
