'L'Echappée Belle' translates to 'The Great Escape.' 70% of the base wine comes from the village of Grauves, known for its cooler microclimate. The vineyards were planted by Etienne's grandparents, who are both from Grauves. Beginning in 2011, Etienne has kept a perpetual reserve just for this cuvée, and 30% of the final blend of 'L'Echappée Belle' is produced with reserve wine.

The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs L'Echappee Belle was harvested in the Sezannais and the Marne Valley. A sense of white pepper on white miso makes for a spicy nose, appetizing and bright. The palate is vivid with youthful mousse, foaming through the slender white wine. There is lemony verve, apple freshness and lively brightness, almost zesty on the dry finish. This is very enlivening and super bright.
