Tasting Note:
A chalk-etched, laser-precise Blanc de Blancs. Lemon zest, green apple, and white peach lead into almond, pastry, and a saline snap. Fine, persistent mousse and racy acidity drive a long, mouthwatering finish of citrus oil and crushed stone. Elegant, energetic, and wonderfully terroir-focused.

About the Producer:
Working from Avize, Étienne Calsac farms and vinifies with a light touch to spotlight site and season—native ferments, modest oak, low dosage, and meticulous work in the vines. Les Rocheforts is his single-parcel statement from Bisseuil, delivering crystalline fruit and pure Côte des Blancs–style chalkiness at Premier Cru level.
