Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Calsac’s 2021 vintage-based NV Les Revenants, hailing from a single 0.5-hectare, east-facing plot in Montgenost in the Côte de Sézanne, is the most incisive wine in the range this year and, analytically speaking, the cuvée with the lowest pH. After completing his oenology studies, in 2010 Étienne replanted several rows to other varieties typically associated with small-scale production—Pinot Blanc (60%), Petit Meslier (35%) and Arbane (5%)—and produced the first vintage of this blend in 2016. In the cellar, the wine is matured for seven months in used 600-liter barrels and bottled under cork. Opening in the glass to reveal notes of exotic white flowers, saffron, orange zest and mint, it’s medium-bodied, quite chiseled and tightly wound, uniting the aromatic expressiveness of the heirloom grapes with the definition and structural tension. With a tangy spine of acidity and chalky extract, it concludes with a long, penetrating finish. It was disgorged in July 2024 with three grams per liter dosage.
