Description:

The Champagne Les Rocheforts by Étienne Calsac is the result of 100% Chardonnay grapes from the terroir of Bisseuil (Premier Cru Côte des Blancs) from a single parcel (lieu-dit) about 30 years old.

Harvest base 2017 with 30% vin de réserve, first fermentation in stainless steel and a resting period on its own yeasts for 24 months, and an Extra Brut dosage (5 g/l) for this Champagne Blanc de Blancs produced in limited quantities.

Winemaker:

In 2010, at the age of 26, Etienne became responsible for his family's domaine: 2.8 hectares of vineyards, aged 30, spread between Avize, Grauves and Bisseuil. His goal is ensuring that all grapes are grown under the Lutte raisonnée methodes.

Etienne personally controls the grape pressing, before they are mixed and adds his personal touch to the already severe quality checkings.

All bottles rest on yeasts for 36 months and after degorgement for 3 more months. The potential is unlimited, contrary to its cherished limited edition Champagnes.
