Organic. 100% Chardonnay, all estate fruit. 1/2 of the fruit is from Etienne's holdings in the Cotes de Sezannes, 1/4 from Grauves and the last quarter from Bisseuil. Beginning in 2011, Etienne 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. Organic. 100% Chardonnay, all estate fruit. 1/2 of the fruit is from Etienne's holdings in the Cotes de Sezannes, 1/4 from Grauves and the last quarter from Bisseuil. Beginning in 2011, Etienne 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 2022) aged on the lees for seven months, 25% of which is aged in neutral 500-600 liter barrels, before bottling. 3g dosage. January '25 disgorgement.

Organic. 100% Chardonnay. The base vintage of 2022 comprises 80% of the cuvee with the other 20% coming from a reserve perpetual solera started in 2012. Sourced entirely from a single parcel called Les Rocheforts, situated in the town of Bisseuil, a premier cru village in the Cote des Blancs. Vines average 35 years in age- the soil is chalk and the exposure is southeast. Only the coeur de cuvee juice is used. Primary fermentation in tank with malolactic fermentation in a combination of barrel (15% for 7 months) and tank. Disgorged January 2025. Dosage 2 g/L.

Organic. Roughly 90% Chardonnay,10% Pinot Noir. This wine is built off the same base as ‘L’Échappée Belle,’ (currently 2022) with chalky Chardonnay parcels pulled from Côte de Sezanne, Grauves and Bisseuil. The Pinot Noir is sourced from a Grand Cru site in Montagne de Reims. It is technically a rosé d’assemblage, with Pinot Noir verjus added to the base wine of l’Échappée Belle before bottling. Aged anywhere from 18 – 24 months on lees at minimum in bottle. Disgorged Jan 2025. Dosage 2 g/l.

Organic. Base vintage 2022. 50% Pinot Blanc, 43% Petit Meslier, 7% Arbane. ‘Les Revenants’ is a Champagne ‘a l’ancienne’—in 2010, Calsac planted .3ha of a family vineyard in the Côte de Sezanne to some of the forgotten Champagne varieties: Pinot Blanc for body, Petit Meslier for aromatics, and Arbanne for acidity. The vineyard, called ‘Les Fours,’ is in the town of Montgenost, south-facing, and sits on sandy topsoil with chalk beneath—the combination of sand and chalk allows for earlier ripening, key with a grape like Arbane. All the grapes are picked together on the same day; they are also pressed together all at once. Everything is included at press rather than just the ‘coeur de cuvée’ as in his other wines (this is another older, less common technique making a comeback with some younger winemakers). After pressing, the wine is settled in stainless, then racked off into one 600L barrel. Spontaneous ferment, kept on lees for seven months, then transferred unfiltered into bottle. Bottles are aged under cork rather crown cap, allowing more oxygen into the wine. 24 to 30 months on lees under cork; each bottle is hand-disgorged in January 2025. Bottled w/ no additional dosage but with 4g per liter naturally occurring sugar.

Organic: 100% Petit Meslier. Vineyard: Cote de Sézanne, Montgenost Parcel: Les Fours. Exposition: 0.75 acres on a south slope of sandy chalk soils Vinification: Indigenous yeasts. 7 months in oak barrel with full skin contact, meaning de-stemmed berries are added to the barrel by hand. Vinification: The de-stemmed berries naturally ferment directly in an old oak barrel and remain there for the 7-months of aging. All free run juice, there is no racking, no fining, no filtering before bottling. No So2 added.

Organic. 100% Petit Meslier. The ‘Projet Comète’ series is a newer project from Étienne where the bottling is different each year. It’s a way for Étienne to explore new wines without disrupting the labels and vineyards well-settled in his lineup, as he still has lots of new ideas. Each year the cuvée is ephemeral, tiny in quantity, and therefore as lasting as only a ‘comète.’ Comète No. 4 is entirely from the 2020 harvest, Étienne’s very first 100% Petit Meslier, drawn from the same vineyard in the Côte de Sezanne which gives birth to ‘Les Revenants’ (his vineyard called ‘Les Fours’). The wine was vinified in oak unfined/unfiltered and unsulfured, then aged under cork while on lees for roughly 36 months. Disgorged December of 2023 with no dosage, but containing 5 g/L of RS. Only one 350L barrel was produced. In this wine one feels the distinctively savory, leafy, nearly Alsatian or Italian alpine nature of Petit Meslier – Étienne notes that the variety’s relationship to Savagnin is clear to him, especially after vinifying it solo for this cuvée.

Organic. 100% Pinot Noir. This wine is sourced from a single parcel, from a hamlet of the same name in the region of Bligny in the Aube. The parcel’s topsoil is highly calcareous; the vineyard is exposed south. This bottling is all from vintage 2021, vinified entirely in oak barrels, and aged under cork while on lees for roughly 38 months. Disgorged Jan 2025 with no dosage. Étienne makes this wine as the one full, regular expression of Blanc de Noirs in his portfolio; for a vintner who is from the Côtes des Blancs and has focused on Chardonnay for most of his winery’s existence, it represents a real curiosity and reach into the other serious, chalk-and-calcaire-driven parts of Champagne. Herbal, savory, and a bit more powerful, it’s a very different wine from the lightness and you see in Calsac’s flagships, L’Échappée Belle and Les Rocheforts. Special stuff.
