In 2010, at the age of 26, Etienne decided to take control of his grandparents’ 2.8 hectares of vineyards scattered in and around Avize, which had previously been sold off to the big houses. Etienne himself had overseen the pressing of the grapes before they were sent off to the big houses, and he decided to maintain the strict quality controls already in place while adding a few personal touches. Calsac wines are classic with just a touch of experimentation in the mix. 

All estate Chardonnay from 1er cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs. The base wine (currently 2023) is aged on the lees for seven months, 25% in neutral 500-600 liter barrels, then bottled with 20% reserve wine.  Disgorged March 2026, with a dosage of 5g/L.
