Cuvée Umami Extra-Brut 2012
The Cuvée Umami 2012 is an Extra Brut made from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, harvested on the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. It is aged 100% in oak barrels. The vines are 60 years old, the plots were chosen with care and are farmed biodynamically. 2012 gave very ripe, concentrated grapes, and you can taste that in the fullness of this vintage.
Aromas of honey and cherry come with a velvety texture. Added to that are the length, depth and minerality that define the De Sousa style. The champagne is built for maturity: give it a little more time, it will keep for 10 to 20 years. The release is limited, and it is supplied in a gift box. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a large white wine glass.
