Description

Champagne Etienne Sandrin
A travers Celles R18

The Champagne A travers Celles by Etienne Sandrin is produced as a non-declared vintage (therefore without the use of vin de réserve), and is the fruit of three individual plots - Mouille-Brant, Vieux Moulin, Grille Besace - which run through the village of Celles-sur-Ource, in the Côte des Bar. It is the result of the blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Blanc, 2018 harvest and vinification in steel tanks and zero final dosage - Extra Brut.

The Kimmeridgian soil dominated by limestone and clay give the Champagne a marked freshness: the brown and white clays of the "rive gauche" give a silky touch, while the marly limestone of the "rive droite" give a salinity just revealed by the freshness of the local microclimate.

The Champagne A travers Celles by Etienne Sandrin is marked by notes of fresh fruit and lime. The almost imperceptible bubbles give the palate ethereal elegance and balance; the mineral and spicy texture give it good persistence.

Winery

Champagne Etienne Sandrin

In Celles-sur-Ource, in the heart of the Côte des Bar, Anne (agricultural engineer) and Étienne Sandrin (lawyer) decided in 2006 to take over the vineyards of the Sandrin family, converting to organic and then biodynamic viticulture from 2013. For generations, the Sandrin family have sold their grapes to the local cooperative, but since 2014 they decided to start making wine from part of their production, mainly for themselves and for a close circle of friends and enthusiasts with the same quality requirements. The property is about 10 hectares wide, with vineyards growing on Kimmerdgian terroir - characterised by limestone and clay - divided into 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Blanc with a very small amount of Chardonnay (0.2%). There are currently 12 parcels from which Étienne Sandrin selects the grapes, which he vinifies year after year separately to produce new wines, the rest being partly sold and partly kept in steel tanks for the production of subsequent cuvées. Neither wood barrels nor sugar are used in the production process; fermentation takes place naturally with indigenous yeasts aiming at preserving the pure and precise expression of the terroir of origin and making their Champagnes ethereally elegant, of great freshness and seductive minerality. Even today, the few bottles produced - around 7,000 - are distributed among friends, enthusiasts and selected specialist retailers.
