2022 Etienne Calsac Blanc de Noir " Val I'Hermité", Extra Brut, Champagne, France
ABOUT THE WINE
Produced by Champagne Ătienne Calsac, âVal lâHermitĂ©â is a Blanc de Noirs Champagne crafted exclusively from dark-skinned grapes and vinified to emphasize purity, texture, and site expression. The wine reflects the modern grower Champagne movement, where meticulous farming and terroir transparency take precedence over heavily stylized house blends.
The 2022 vintage offers remarkable freshness and energy, balancing ripe fruit with pronounced mineral structure. Notes of apple, pear, lemon zest, and stone fruit are layered with subtle toast, almond, and chalky undertones developed through extended lees aging. The Extra Brut dosage preserves the wineâs tension and clarity, allowing its vibrant acidity and precise mousse to shine.
Ătienne Calsac farms with a thoughtful, low-intervention philosophy focused on vineyard health and authentic expression of place. Careful pressing, restrained cellar work, and patient maturation contribute depth and finesse without sacrificing freshness. The result is a Champagne that feels both elegant and quietly powerful.
Ideal as an aperitif or alongside oysters, sashimi, caviar, roast chicken, or triple-cream cheeses, âVal lâHermitĂ©â also pairs beautifully with delicate seafood and refined vegetable dishes.
