Produced using the traditional method, it brings together the chalky character of the Côte des Blancs with the distinctive identity of a clos—a walled vineyard parcel prized for its individual expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFine, persistent bubbles accompany fresh citrus and fruit aromas, with chalky, mineral notes at the forefront. The palate is taut and refreshing, balancing bright fruit, pronounced minerality and a long, composed finish. Its freshness and structure suggest potential to develop in bottle, though no specific cellaring period is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chardonnay comes from the south-facing Clos des Maladries in Avize, where deep chalk soils help shape the wine’s mineral character and natural freshness. The vineyard is worked with horses, reflecting a hands-on approach to the land; specific harvest methods are not stated. Must ferments spontaneously with native yeasts, then matures partly in oak barrels and partly in stainless-steel tanks. The wine is bottled for its second fermentation according to the traditional method and is neither filtered nor fined; Extra Brut dosage preserves its crisp, focused profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled, around 8–10°C, with oysters, shellfish, sashimi or delicate fish dishes; it also pairs well with aged hard cheeses. Decanting is not usually necessary for Champagne, but a brief rest in a glass can help the wine open if it seems especially reserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Etienne Calsac","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54973049045329,"sku":"XW-62546","price":177.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/etienne-calsac-champagne-clos-des-maladries-grand-cru-blanc-de-blancs-extra-brut-2022","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
