A quick search reveals only a couple of mentions here of this producer. However as the wines have started to pop up quite often on Instagram and a Champenoise friend has praised the wine and the man behind them I really wanted to try one myself. BdB from the CdB is our preferred style and this bottle turned out to be an extremely solid example of the more steely, reductive end of the spectrum. It is the sort of Champagne you open and finish in one short sitting as the drinkability is just tremendous.

NV Etienne Calsac Champagne L’échappée Belle Extra Brut - France, Champagne (1.10.2017)
Mis en Bouteille May 23rd 2014, disgorgement February 2017. Extremely fresh, bright and saline on the nose with notes of green apple, crushed rock and baking spices. Strong effervescence reveals a bone dry and acidic, highly energetic wine underneath. Delightful bitter and tangy tones, this is the kind of wine that puts a smile on its drinker’s face. The mouth-watering, palate-cleansing finish makes it just perfect for sushi and Chaource. A very well-balanced and harmonious Extra Brut.
