    Champagne Étienne Calsac "Les Rocheforts" Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Extra Brut
  • Champagne Premier Cru, Le Rocheforts, Extra Brut from Maison Etienne Calsac is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Les Rocheforts parcel. We are located in the commune of Bisseuil, in the Vallée de la Marne. This Premier Cru classified village is renowned for its soils rich in limestone and chalk outcrops, which give the grapes a vibrant minerality and unique aromatic complexity. The Premier Cru classification in Champagne, it should be remembered, identifies the best vineyards in the region. A Blanc de Blancs with character, the Chardonnay grapes used for this Champagne are vinified partly in steel and partly in wood. This vinification process produces a complex and structured wine with a fine balance between fruity and mineral notes. The Extra Brut dosage, with only 3 grams of sugar per litre, leaves room for the pure expression of terroir and grape variety. Le Rocheforts Extra Brut goes perfectly with raw fish dishes, noble shellfish and white meats. Today, it is appreciated for its liveliness and fruity expression. In the cellar, well stored, it can safely mature for several years. Lovers of Blanc de Blancs and Champagnes with character should certainly not miss this bottle.

    A talented winemaker from the Côte des Blancs, Etienne Calsac is a young Champagne vigneron. His clear ideas, dedication to work in the vineyard and enormous respect for the ecosystem make him an example of modern, sustainable viticulture. Etienne Calsac's vineyards extend over 3 hectares in Avize, on the Côte des Blancs, an area renowned for the production of top-quality Chardonnay. The limestone soil and cool climate give the grapes a vibrant minerality and unique aromatic complexity. Etienne Calsac practices sustainable viticulture based on the valorisation of the different plots that make up his vineyard. For this reason, he almost exclusively vinifies the grapes of each parcel in purity, obtaining wines that express the unique characteristics of each terroir. In addition to Chardonnay, Etienne Calsac also cultivates some old grape varieties such as Petit Meslier, which are used to create special cuvées.
