Tradition Brut

Wine Description for Tradition by De Sousa

Colour & Appearance

Pale golden yellow with fine, vibrant bubbles – a classic Champagne of elegant appearance.

Nose

Precise and multi-layered: citrus fruits and almonds open the bouquet, accompanied by a subtle note of fermented Boskop apples. With air contact, the Champagne develops towards yellow stone fruits, revealing chalky minerality and a delicate hint of jasmine – an aromatic evolution that rewards patience.

Palate

Direct, forceful and yet of remarkable clarity. The fruit presents itself bright and focused: lemon meringue, wine foam, white peach, nectarine and apple merge into a creamy flavour profile. The seven grams of dosage integrate seamlessly, the Champagne feels dry and balanced.

Finish

Mineral-driven, with persistent freshness and fine length. The dosage fulfils its purpose perfectly here: it harmonises without drawing attention, and carries the Champagne elegantly into the finish.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A classic blend of 50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 10% Meunier. This composition unites the finesse of Chardonnay with the structure of Pinot Noir and the fruity accessibility of Meunier – a masterclass in Champagne blending.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The versatility of this Brut makes it an ideal food companion: langoustines with fennel, apple and elderflower, char with nori and quail eggs or golden beetroot with pear and goat’s cheese – Tradition harmonises equally well with seafood and vegetarian compositions.

Special Features

The name says it all: this is a Champagne that embodies the tradition of the De Sousa house – crafted with precision, without frills, but with soul. A reliable Brut that demonstrates that classicism never goes out of style.
