Clean and precise. High acidity. There is a good amount of weight on the palate. Not showing much complexity at the moment, time will bring on more complexity and balance. #etiennecalsac #champagne #rose #pinotnoir #france #ctbucklinwine

These champagnes simply do not miss. Clear salmon in color with particularly active, attractive bubbles. The nose is so immediately pleasing and oh so clean. All the red berries that you would expect along with semi sweet bread and rose water. Chalk is a superstar here.

One of the more impressive rosés I’ve tasted. Composed of 90/10 Chardonnay/Pinot Noir, this is a smoother champagne. Elegant and rather substantial, this has nice weight to it. Nicely restrained acidity throughout with the terroir singing.

Immensely drinkable and bright. Vibrant red fruits abound. Spice on the tongue that elevates this. And some exquisite chalkiness. That’s what truly makes this a top notch wine. I will definitely have to get more of this.

Discorged in July 2022, the Rose de Craie from Étienne Calsac consists of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir from 1er Cru Vineyards. Medium pink, the bouquet reveals precise notes of rose water, red cherry and plum as well hints of green apple, lime zest and biscuit. Medium bodied and bone-dry, the zesty high acidity gives this Champagne a particularly refreshing character. Drink now until 2025.

A nice, lean, clean and crisp Rosé Champagne with hints of strawberry on the nose. On the pallet it is equally enjoyable with an assuming elegance.
