Etienne Calsac Echappee Belle Blanc de Blancs, Champagne, France
$62.00
Organic. 100% Chardonnay, all estate fruit. Half of the fruit is from Etienne's holdings in the Côte de Sézanne, one quarter from Grauves, and the last quarter from Bisseuil. Beginning in 2011, Étienne has kept a perpetual reserve just for this cuvée, and 20% of the final blend is produced with that reserve. Direct press of the entire harvest with separation of the juice. Only the "cuvée" is kept for the vinification (no head or tail of the press). Base wine (currently 2023) aged on the lees for seven months, 25% of which is aged in neutral 500-600 liter barrels, before bottling. 5g/L dosage. August '25 disgorgement (June for the magnums).
