De Sousa & Fils is a stand out in Champagne's star-studded field for its Grand Cru status, 20+ years of biodynamic farming, and a treasure trove of old vines. Literally farmed by hand and horse and rooted deep in the legendary chalk of Avize, this MV Reserve Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut delivers a rare combination of intense minerality, bright, ripe fruit and an incisive cut normally reserved for much pricier bottles.

Erick De Sousa’s cellar technique mirrors those of elite Chardonnay-focused Burgundians, blending full ripeness and spontaneous fermentation in steel, with select old-vine parcels aged in French oak. The result? Champagne that bursts with green apple, ripe pear, lemon zest, pulverized stone, brioche, and almond. Unmatched provenance, biodynamic farming, and insane value. This is an genuine insider’s Champagne most definitely worth stocking up on.

Why You'll Love It:

• Grand Cru Champagne crafted from old-vine, biodynamically farmed Chardonnay in the Côte des Blancs—delivering exceptional purity and deep flavor.

How To Serve It:
