Etienne Calsac Rose de Craie Extra Brut NV AOC 0,75l

Etienne Calsac Rose de Craie Extra Brut NV AOC is a Champagne defined by restraint, precision, and an interpretation of the terroir shaped by chalk soils that impart a pronounced mineral note and salinity softened by acidity, The label tells a family story: an artisan-run estate rooted in the Champagne region, France, where a passion for the vine has been passed down through generations, evolving from small-scale farming practices into meticulous cellar care, The production philosophy is based on a respectful approach to vineyard work and winemaking: hand harvesting, controlled yields, clean fermentations in steel, lees ageing that gives the wine elegant tension, and an Extra Brut dosage that leaves room for minimal residual sugar to enhance the purity of the fruit and the minerality, Its distinctive quality is the balance between freshness and density: the powder-pink color, lively reflections, and fine perlage invite closer examination, while the nose reveals notes of wild strawberry, redcurrant, candied lemon, and a hint of toasted almond, accompanied by a whisper of brioche that recalls the lees ageing, On the palate, it is dry yet enveloping, with controlled acidity supporting a medium-intensity flavor structure, a silky texture, and a long, clean finish that evokes the sea and limestone, delivering a savory, mineral finale, This wine occupies a central role within the Etienne Calsac range, offering a rosé interpretation of the house that complements the other cuvées and serves as a stylistic reference for those seeking a Champagne capable of accompanying refined dishes without sacrificing elegance, Ultimately, Rose de Craie Extra Brut NV AOC represents an authentic interpretation of the Champagne terroir and aligns with the STELT positioning: restrained precision, measured gestures, discreet excellence.
