Calsac Champagne L'echappee Belle 1.5L Suisun Valley From Seattle - 100% whiteOrganic. 100% Chardonnay. The fruit for this cuve is taken mainly from 1er cru vineyards in the Cte des Blancs, particularly the village of Grauves, which known for its cooler microclimate (70% of the base wine comes from these sites). The vineyards were planted by Etiennes grandparents, who are both from Grauves. Beginning in 2011, Etienne has kept a perpetual reserve just for this cuve, and 30% of the final blend is produced with that reserve.
