Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Étienne Calsac’s 2020 Blanc de Blancs Avize Clos des Maladries derives from a 0.16-hectare walled vineyard in Avize. Farmed organically, plowed mostly by horse and vinified entirely in used oak (600-liter and 350-liter barrels), it was disgorged in June 2024 with a dosage of four grams per liter, which feels a bit high when tasting this rich, concentrated wine. The aromatic range is marked by above-average levels of volatile acidity, reminiscent of nail varnish, which is unfortunate, as it suppresses the underlying aromas of peach, pastries and grapefruit zest. On the palate, it’s ample and creamy, with good structure and balance, concluding with a chalky finish.
