Box of 2 Cuvée Caudalies Grand Cru 2012

This box brings together two Grand Cru Cuvées Caudalies 2012 from De Sousa, both from the Côte des Blancs: Avize "Les Pierres Vaudons" and Le Mesnil "Les Chétillons". 2012 is marked by a good balance of acidity and sugar, and the vines are worked biodynamically. After 84 months in the house's cellar, both cuvées are ready to drink. As extra brut blanc de blancs, they go into the glass without much dosage.

The Avize smells of dried fruit, aniseed and fennel. On the palate come hazelnut, salt and caramel, with a pleasantly bitter finish. The Le Mesnil shows charcoal, white blossom and yellow fruit, rich and supple on the palate. Both pair well with seafood, fish, white meat or mature cheese. Serve them at 10 to 12 °C in a wide white wine glass. In the cellar they will keep for 15 to 20 years.
