Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92

"The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs L'Échappée Belle, a pure Chardonnay harvested in Montgenost, Bisseuil, Grauves and Avize across Champagne, opens with an appetizing nose of pure yellow apple flesh, ripe yet crisp, reminiscent of Golden Delicious. The palate mirrors this fruitiness and crispness, supported by creamy mousse and fine concentration. Brightness and freshness define its aromatic quality and purity, making it stand out." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 90

"Étienne Calsac’s 2021 vintage-based NV Blanc de Blancs L'Échappée Belle, disgorged in May 2024 with a dosage of four grams per liter, combines the broad-shouldered musculature and amplitude of Montgenost in Côte de Sézanne (half of the blend) with the tauter, acid-laden profile of Grauves in Côte des Blancs and the texture of Bisseuil in Grande Vallée. Defined by the incisive base vintage, complemented by 20% of reserve wines from 2020, it unfolds from the glass with aromas of citrus fruit, white flowers and pear. Medium-bodied, pillowy and underpinned by bright acidity, it concludes with a delicately chalky finish. Vinified mostly in tank, with about 30% in oak, it represents half of the grower’s production." -Kristaps Karklins

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
