Etienne Calsac Clos des Maladries Extra Brut 2021 AOC 0,75l

Etienne Calsac Clos des Maladries Extra Brut NV AOC 0,75l is a Champagne produced at a small family estate in the Champagne region, where the producer’s expertise meets a defined terroir and the choice of a non-vintage cuvée capable of delivering freshness, purity, and character in every sip. The Etienne Calsac house is defined by a history of continuity, daily care of the vineyards, and attention to detail: a craft passed down from generation to generation, now expressed through traditional practices reinterpreted in a modern way, offering a wine that reflects the purity of its origin without excessive artificial intervention. The production philosophy is based on a balance between respect for the vineyard, hand harvesting, gentle pressing, and controlled fermentation, followed by ageing on the lees, which gives the wine a creamy texture without weighing down its freshness. The distinctive features of Clos des Maladries lie in the character of its micro-terroir enclosed by old stone walls, its favorable exposure, and its chalky-clay soil, capable of giving the wine a subtle mineral drive; the choice of a mature base wine not dominated by alcohol makes the Extra Brut NV elegant and immediately recognizable, with fine bubbles and a structure that supports the drinking experience without being intrusive. In terms of style, there is a fusion of technical precision and aromatic richness focused on citrus, with notes of lemon peel, hawthorn, and freshly baked bread; the polished acidity guides the palate and blends with delicate savoriness, offering a fresh, persistent finish that encourages a measured tasting pace. Within the Etienne Calsac range, Clos des Maladries Extra Brut NV is a central choice for those seeking a Champagne with character, capable of accompanying different occasions with the same balance and purity. It is a wine that prioritizes substance, restraint, and authenticity—a reliable and refined presence aligned with the STELT positioning.
