Champagne Extra-Brut rosé, Rose de craie, Etienne Calsac

  • Provenance: Champagne
  • Appellation: Champagne
  • Domain: Etienne Calsac
  • Grape variety(ies): 89% Chardonnay 11% Pinot Noir
  • On-call time: 15 years
  • Style of wine: Vin effervescent

This rare wine comes from Bisseuil and Avize for the chardonnay, with 11% pinot noir from the Montagne de Reims. It is a blended rosé, with the idea of producing a great wine in the spirit of a blanc de blancs, a style favoured by Etienne Calsac. We love this bright and sensual style (thanks to a slightly higher dosage), with a very dynamic finish, with aromas of wild strawberries. Alas, there are few of them: only 1'300 bottles are produced each year. Bettane & Desseauve: 15.5/20; Guide Vert RVF: 90/100

Etienne Calsac

Artisan-winemaker, this is how Etienne Calsac presents himself, a young harvester-manipulator established in Avize on the Côte des Blancs, who has taken over the vines from his grandparents. 2.8 ha in total spread over Avize, Grauves and Bisseuil in the great valley of the Marne. The average age of the vineyard is thirty years and the estate is certified "high environmental value". Etienne Calsac attaches great importance to working the soil and produces confidential champagnes of great purity, incisive and fine. 70% of the estate's production is exported.
