Wine Description for Tradition 3000ml Double Magnum by De Sousa
- Colour & Appearance
- Pale golden yellow with fine, persistent perlage – a classic Champagne of elegant appearance that comes into its own particularly impressively in the imposing double magnum format.
- Nose
- The Tradition opens with precise citrus notes and delicate almonds, accompanied by a subtle Boskop apple nuance. With air contact, a yellow fruit complexity unfolds: chalky minerality meets a hint of jasmine – an aromatic development that rewards patience.
- Palate
- Direct, forceful and present, this Brut reveals itself on the palate. The fruit is bright and clearly defined, with seductive creaminess. Lemon meringue, wine foam, white peach, nectarine and apple meld into a harmonious whole. The seven grams of dosage are perfectly integrated and never disturb the dry character.
- Finish
- Mineral, precise and lingering. The dosage balances the Champagne through to the finale, where a fine salinity and freshness linger – typical of De Sousa’s signature.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- A thoughtfully composed blend of 50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 10% Meunier. This composition unites elegance, structure and fruitiness in a Champagne that offers both freshness and depth. At 12.5% alcohol, it displays finesse rather than power.
- Food Pairing Recommendations
- This versatile Champagne accompanies langoustine with fennel, apple and elderflower as confidently as char with nori and quail eggs. Vegetarian dishes such as golden beetroot with pear and goat’s cheese harmonise beautifully with the creamy texture and minerality.
- Special Features
- The double magnum at 3000ml is not only an impressive showpiece, but also advantageous from an oenological perspective: the wine matures more slowly and develops more harmoniously. Ideal for grand celebrations or as a long-term investment in the cellar. De Sousa stands for biodynamic viticulture and artisanal precision – qualities that are fully expressed in this classic Brut.
