Cuvée Caudalies Grand Cru 2010
The Cuvée Caudalies 2010 is a Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru at Extra Brut dosage. The grapes come from 50-year-old vines, farmed organically, and it is aged in oak barrels. The champagne spent more than seven years in the cellar before De Sousa released it. You can taste that time in every sip.
The nose is delicate and shows subtle oak notes. On the palate, roundness, breadth and depth impress, carried by a pronounced minerality of the kind that marks out great Chardonnays of Champagne. The length makes it a champagne for the table. It suits an aperitif, shellfish and turbot. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a white wine glass with a wide bowl, so that the oak and minerality can unfold.
