A single-parcel, single-vintage Blanc de Blancs from the Coteaux Vitryats, the stretch of chalk between the Marne and the Aube that most Champagne drinkers have never heard of. Antoine Chevalier came home to the family's 2.5 hectares at Vitry-en-Perthois in 2014 and began converting them to certified organic farming in 2017. This cuvée comes entirely from Les Renardes, a southeast-facing parcel of Chardonnay planted in 2000 in neighboring Couvrot, where the chalk is crumbling and almost gravelly — the source of the wine's saline lift. Fermented with native yeasts in a mix of barrel, tank and ceramic egg, bottled without fining or filtration, then given three years on the lees and disgorged with essentially no dosage. Bone dry and vinous, this is grower Champagne for the dinner table rather than the toast.

More about Antoine Chevalier

Antoine Chevalier farms 2.5 hectares of Chardonnay out of roughly 60 planted in the tiny village of Vitry-en-Perthois, where he is the only vinifier, on Turonian-era chalk. His grandfather Guy planted vines here in 1925 and helped found the local co-op. In 2014, after working in other regions, Antoine returned with his partner Aurore to bottle these terroirs himself, beginning organic conversion in 2017. Natural fermentations run in barrels, tanks and ceramic globes, with long lees ageing and little or no dosage.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
