  • About producer: The Calsac family had long sold their grapes to prestigious Champagne houses but in 2010, 26-year-old Etienne Calsac took over and began producing Champagne in-house from start to finish, combining family traditions with innovative techniques. Étienne's wines express the unique terroir, highlighting Chardonnay's elegance. Committed to sustainable practices, he implemented organic farming methods, achieving certification for all parcels by 2021. His experience at major Champagne houses informed his approach, blending rigorous quality control with personal touches inspired by fellow young vignerons. At Calsac, each parcel is vinified separately, with some wines barrel-aged.

  • About wine: Les Revenants is a Champagne à l'ancienne, made from a vineyard Étienne planted in 2010 in Côte de Sezanne, featuring forgotten Champagne varieties. The vineyard, called Les Fours, is south-facing with alkaline clay-limestone soil over chalk. The grapes are picked and pressed together, and the wine is vinified in 600L barrels. The 2021 vintage underwent spontaneous fermentation, was aged for 36 months on lees, and is hand-disgorged with zero dosage. Limited to 1,000 bottles annually, Les Revenants embodies the essence of returning to tradition.
