Cuvée Caudalies Grand Cru 2008
The Cuvée Caudalies Grand Cru 2008 aged for 84 months in De Sousa's cellar and is now ready to drink. The 2008 vintage is highly praised and described as having a great balance between acidity and sugar. The grapes come from biodynamic work in the vineyard. As an extra brut grand cru, the champagne shows plenty of Chardonnay character: round, full-bodied and profound, with lovely minerality.
On the palate honey and gingerbread come to the fore. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a large white wine glass, in which this depth can unfold. It accompanies seafood, fish and white meat, suits mature cheese and is a pleasure as an aperitif too. If you are patient, you can cellar it for 15 to 20 years.
