Étienne Calsac Les Revenants Extra Brut Champagne 750ml

Étienne Calsac Les Revenants: Ultra-Rare Ancestral Cépage Champagne

The Étienne Calsac Les Revenants Extra Brut Champagne 750ml stands as an extraordinary, avant-garde masterwork restoring Champagne’s lost ancestral grape varieties. In particular, this micro-cuvée is sourced from an experimental single parcel in Côte de Sezanne planted with Pinot Blanc, Petit Meslier, and Arbane. In addition, Calsac vinifies this cuvée with native yeasts in oak barrels with minimal dosage, capturing exotic aromatic lift and crystalline chalk tension.

Tasting Notes for Étienne Calsac Les Revenants

Furthermore, nuanced notes of toasted hazelnut, beeswax, lemon curd, and delicate woodsmoke unfurl continuously in the glass. On the palate, pristine citrus purity aligns effortlessly with rich, textured fruit depth and electric mineral tension. Consequently, the finish reverberates with unforgettable saline persistence, floral lift, and regal poise.
