Etienne Calsac Rosé de Craie

Sale price

The nose is delicate, aromatic with a slight herbal note surrounded by some cherry kernel. Full malolactic fermentation on this wine lends to a softer palate and well-balanced fruit-to-acid-and-tannin ratio.

This is made from majority chardonnay (86%) and the remainder pinot noir from the Premier Cru village - Bisseuil. The name 'Rosé de Craie' translates to rosé of chalk indicating a style to expect.

Etienne Calsac, definitely a young gun of champagne making pure, expressive champagne. He took over the family estate in 2008 and has converted to fully Biodynamic farming. He makes very small quantities of this about 3,500 bottles worldwide and owns a total of 2.8-odd hectares. He is also fortunate to have access to the monopole Clos des Maladries in Avize with extremely limited bottling. Interesting to know, Etienne's wines are extremely popular in Paris and have been listed at several Michelin-starred restaurant as well as the Ritz Hotel.

The bouquet leads with breadcrumb, cherry pip, red fruit and chalkiness. The finish is a combination of chalky-mineral definition.

Try some Crayfish with a lobster bisque to make the wine pop. If you like red meat, seared pigeon with redcurrant sauce would tap into the light tannin and fruit profile. If you want our classic take try the lobster roll from Supernormal - Fresh Lobster, Brioche buns, Kewpie mayo with some Sriracha spice and iceberg lettuce.
