More About Coteaux Champenois Etienne Sandrin Le Bruyant Calme et Tranquille 2022

This is a rare still white wine from Etienne Sandrin in the Côte des Bar (Champagne), made from a single parcel called Le Bruyant that is planted to Pinot Noir (about 90 %) and Pinot Blanc (about 10 %) vinified like a white. The grapes are organically and biodynamically grown in clay-rich soils, hand-harvested and naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts, with malolactic fermentation occurring spontaneously to retain freshness and an appetising profile.

In the glass the 2022 vintage shows crisp, vibrant fruit with an acid-driven yet rounded character, featuring bright orchard and citrus-leaning flavours balanced by subtle minerality from the terroir and a clean, refreshing finish that’s lively rather than overly complex. Sandrin positions this wine as a simple, joyful expression meant for uncomplicated enjoyment with friends and food, distinct from his Champagne production but equally expressive of place.

Meet the Producer, Champagne Etienne Sandrin

Champagne Etienne Sandrin

Style: Winery

Champagne Étienne Sandrin feels like the kind of producer wine obsessives discover once and then immediately start telling everybody about before the rest of the world catches on. Based in the Côte des Bar, the estate focuses on small-scale, low-intervention Champagne built around single vineyards and proper farming rather than polished luxury image.

The Côte des Bar sits in the southern part of Champagne and behaves quite differently from the more famous northern villages. The soils are more Burgundian, Pinot Noir thrives here, and the wines often carry a little more fruit generosity and texture alongside all the classic Champagne freshness.

Étienne Sandrin farms organically and works with minimal intervention in the cellar, producing wines that feel incredibly pure and site-specific. These are not aggressively manipulated “house style” Champagnes designed to taste identical every year. They taste like vineyards, seasons and careful decisions made by actual humans.

The wines themselves are wonderfully precise. Bright orchard fruit, citrus, chalk, herbs and gentle savoury complexity all woven together with really fine mousse and freshness. There’s a calm confidence to them. Nothing flashy or oversized, just beautifully balanced Champagne with loads of quiet detail underneath.

What makes the house especially appealing is how focused everything feels. Small production, single-vineyard thinking and a clear respect for the land rather than endless expansion projects. The wines feel thoughtful rather than manufactured.

Also, once you start drinking good Côte des Bar Champagne, you inevitably begin wondering why more people aren’t talking about it constantly. Then you realise the growers are probably quite happy keeping it slightly under the radar.
