NV Etienne Calsac "L'Échappée Belle" Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut, Champagne, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Using only organic methods in the vineyards and no chemicals, everything is done by hand with attention to each parcel and soil.
In the cellar, gentle and careful work keeps the precision and expressiveness of each wine unique. Each parcel is vinified separately and all bottles are aged on the lees for 36 months, and an additional 3 months is given after disgorgement before the wines are released. The result are laser focused wines with a mineral base building up towards bright fruit on the mid-palate, and a crystalline finish.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
For years, the Calsac family sold the grapes they grew in their vineyards to the region’s grand Champagne houses. But, in 2010, 26-year-old Etienne Calsac inherited the vines and expanded the family business to incorporate Champagne-making from start to finish. Today, at his Avize estate, Etienne applies the strict quality control methods his grandparents taught him while also contributing his own spirit of experimentation during vintification. The vigneron’s expressive wines reflect distinctive terroir and showcase the elegance of the chardonnay grape.
