Etienne Calsac Les Rocheforts NV is a non-vintage blanc de blancs Champagne produced by Etienne Calsac in Avize, France. Sourced exclusively from the chalky terroir of Les Rocheforts in the Premier Cru village of Bisseuil in the Cote des Blancs, this 10% Chardonnay Champagne uses only the coeur de cuvée and is fermented in a combination of barrel (15% for 7 months) and steel tank. The base vintage is 2015. An elegant and fine-boned blanc de blancs with notes of citrus, green apple and bread dough, and a fine, saline minerality.

Calsac’s 2021 vintage-based NV Blanc de Blancs Les Rocheforts, complemented with 10% of reserve wines from 2020, was disgorged in April 2024 with four grams per liter dosage. A reference to the stark white chalk, Les Rocheforts comes from an organically farmed single-vineyard site planted in 1986 and 1988 in the village of Bisseuil. In the cellar, the wine is vinified equal parts in stainless steel and oak (five years old on average). Soaring from the glass with scents of acacia, pear and ripe citrus fruit, it’s muscular, glossy and textural, with a charming core of fruit and a delicately saline finish.

Blanc de Blancs.Exciting development on the nose and tight texture. Real potential and ambition here. Super clean and fresh. Persistent and nice quality of bead. (JR)
