From the family run vineyards of Étienne Calsac in Avize, this Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 1er Cru captures the elegance of 100 % Chardonnay and the joy of careful, thoughtful winemaking

Bright citrus, green apple and white blossoms rise from the glass, carried on fine, persistent bubbles with chalky minerality and subtle brioche. The palate is lively, precise and graceful, finishing clean and refreshing

A youthful, expressive Champagne full of energy and finesse, perfect for sharing, celebrating or savoring quiet moments.

Étienne Calsac’s 2021 vintage-based NV Blanc de Blancs L'Échappée Belle, disgorged in May 2024 with a dosage of four grams per liter, combines the broad-shouldered musculature and amplitude of Montgenost in Côte de Sézanne (half of the blend) with the tauter, acid-laden profile of Grauves in Côte des Blancs and the texture of Bisseuil in Grande Vallée. Defined by the incisive base vintage, complemented by 20% of reserve wines from 2020, it unfolds from the glass with aromas of citrus fruit, white flowers and pear. Medium-bodied, pillowy and underpinned by bright acidity, it concludes with a delicately chalky finish. Vinified mostly in tank, with about 30% in oak, it represents half of the grower’s production. 90Pts, Drink 2024-2030 - Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate
