Etienne Calsac Coteaux Champenois Blanc Photogramme 2021 AOC 0.75l

Etienne Calsac Coteaux Champenois Blanc Photogramme 2021 AOC 0.75l expresses a rigorous vision of Champagne that goes beyond the traditional image of sparkling wines: it presents itself as a terroir-specific white, produced in small quantities on select parcels in the Champagne hills, where the limestone soil and exposure give off a saline complexity that is perceived at first sip. The Coteaux Champenois Blanc appellation allows for this understated and contemporary perspective: it is here that the determination of the producer, Etienne Calsac, is evident through careful processing, manual harvesting, and a firm desire to preserve the freshness and balance of the raw materials. The history of the house is one of family and territory, of a passion for craftsmanship that looks to the future without abandoning its roots: a corporate identity built on a production philosophy where natural factors—climate, soil, orientation—guide every decision, from vineyard management to the choice of barriques or aging containers, up to the choice of the final maturation stage. Photogramme is not just a label: it's a way of describing the winery, where the urgency of the white wine is expressed without artifice, thanks to a careful management of native yeasts and an aging process that prioritizes precision and length, revealing agaric notes, restrained minerality, hints of citrus, and a delicately floral nuance that recalls the fresh wind on the vines. In this range, Etienne Calsac Coteaux Champenois Blanc Photogramme 2021 occupies a specific place: it is not a transitional product, but a statement of identity that invites us to think of Champagne white as a primary expression of terroir and not simply as a complement to bubbles, offering a different interpretation of the elegance of the geographical area. The wine is aimed at those seeking a tasting experience oriented towards a mineral accent, those who appreciate a subtly taut texture and those who wish to align themselves with a range that places the search for pure taste at its core. In conclusion, Etienne Calsac Coteaux Champenois Blanc Photogramme 2021 is a choice consistent with the STELT positioning: a testament to terroir, restraint and refinement, designed for those who know how to choose wines that express the place beyond fashion.
