Etienne Calsac is one of the rising grower-stars of the Cote des Blancs, who took over his grandparents' Avize vines in 2010 at age 26 and began making his own terroir-driven Champagne instead of selling the fruit. Rose de Craie ('chalk rose') is his pink cuvee, named for the chalk soils that define the region, made in a delicate, gastronomic style rather than a fruit-bomb rose. Built on the 2023 base, it's the kind of grower rose that drinks as happily through dinner as it does on its own.

Antonio Galloni

89 points

"The NV Extra Brut Rose de Craie is a Chardonnay-dominant (92%) rosé with 8% Pinot Noir. Fruit comes from the Sézannais, the Côte des Blancs and the Marne Valley. A creamy touch of yellow apple makes a brief appearance on the shy nose. The palate is alive with frothy mousse, foaming with abandon and showing off the slender wine that is underneath. Gentle white pepper completes the rounded, yet fresh and still slightly astringent fruit. Youthful and absolutely vivacious." —Antonio Galloni

Tasting Profile

Dry, savory rose Champagne: red berries and citrus over a chalky-mineral backbone, fine bubbles, bright acidity, and a clean finish.

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!
