As for the Pinot Noir, it spends a year in 5-wine barrels, where it gains its fine structure. <\/p>\n<p>After &#8220;prise de mousse&#8221;, the wines remain on laths for five years. In keeping with tradition, De Sousa performs regular &#8220;poignettage&#8221; (stirring of the bottles to re-suspend the lees). To finish perfecting themselves, the bottles will rest another year in the cellar before being offered to connoisseurs and enlightened amateurs.  <\/p>\n<p>Then it&#8217;s time to taste: under the delicate salmon-pink color, the many bubbles rise up the sides of the flute to form a light mousse. The fragrance of wood and vanilla awakens the sense of smell, before giving way to the taste of red berries. <\/p>\n<p>An exceptional ros\u00e9 champagne whose connoisseurs will appreciate its famous &#8220;caudalies&#8221; (the unit for measuring a wine&#8217;s length in the mouth) when served chilled as an aperitif or with fish, shellfish or white meats.<\/p>\n<p>More information at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.champagnedesousa.com\/\">http:\/\/www.champagnedesousa.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of the warm weather, De Sousa has created a ros\u00e9 champagne that draws on the expertise of a family that has elevated champagne to an art form.
