A single-vineyard, single-vintage Blanc de Blancs from the only winemaker in Vitry-en-Perthois, in a corner of Champagne most drinkers have never heard of. The Coteaux Vitryats sits between the Marne and the Aube, about an hour's drive from Reims, Epernay and Troyes. It covers roughly 450 hectares, a sliver of Champagne's 34,300. Les Renardes is a southeast-facing parcel of Chardonnay planted in 2000 in neighboring Couvrot, where the chalk is crumbly and almost gravelly. If you've had Chevalier's Tecta Silva, this is the same vineyard, now sold under its own name. Antoine's grandfather Guy bought land and planted vines in Vitry-en-Perthois in 1925, and Antoine is the first in the family to bottle his own wine. He farms 2.5 organic hectares. Bottled Brut Nature, 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.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Raw oysters with mignonette; scallop crudo with lemon and sea salt; gougères; aged Comté; sole meunière; tempura shrimp.

Tasting Profile

Expect a taut, bone-dry Blanc de Blancs: lemon, green apple and white flowers over a chalky, saline minerality, with fine bubbles and bright, cutting acidity. With no dosage to soften it, the fruit stays crisp and the finish long and clean. Think Chablis with bubbles, built more for oysters and roast chicken than for toasting.

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!
