The NV Demi-Sec Exquise (base 2017) is a selection from the lower slopes of Oger, where soils are rich in clay and where fruit ripens earlier. It was bottled with 22 grams of dosage. In its newest incarnation, Exquise now spends at least four years in the cellar prior to release to help integrate the higher dosage. Rich layers of citrus mingle with scents of chamomile, marzipan and dried flowers, filling out the layers effortlessly. This most recent edition of Exquise will be finished with a retro label.Inc.

The NV Champagne Grand Cru 3A Extra Brut is composed of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir from the three villages, all of which was picked on the same day. It features a 3-gram sugar dosage and a more gastronomic style and approach to the wine. I really love the nose of this one: it's a blend of pretty red strawberries, fresh apricot, light smoky earth, toast, and a hint of perfume. Medium to full-bodied, it’s round and fills the palate, offering ripe red fruit and apricot notes, a fine, pillowy mousse, and a clean, fruity finish, where the stone fruit shines. It’s zesty and fresh but also ripe. With fluidity and lovely energy, it’s very well-balanced and a very strong wine for De Sousa in this vintage. Drink 2025-2045.Inc. VAT£383.14 -

Closer in style to the 2018 rendition than to the 2021, the new Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru C + C, as ever, draws from the communes of Cramant and Chouilly. Based on the 2022 vintage and complemented by 50% perpetual reserve, it was disgorged in July 2025 with a dosage of four grams per liter, with roughly half of the wine vinified in tank and the remainder in wood. The wine opens with notes of orange oil, pear, dried flowers and freshly baked bread, leading into a medium- to full-bodied, rich and textural palate, underpinned by racy acidity and dry extract, and concluding in a long, sapid finish. Readers will recall that it was this cuvée that prompted Aurélien Suenen to reconsider his approach to the lieux-dits, potentially incorporating a reserve-wine component to temper vintage character and allow site to take center stage.Inc.
