Antoine Chevalier’s Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut “Carkonnia” 2020 is a pristine expression of Chardonnay from the chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs, offering an elegant balance of freshness and complexity. This vintage Champagne opens with enticing aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, accented by subtle floral notes of acacia and hints of crushed stones. On the palate, it is precise and mineral-driven, revealing flavors of lemon curd, pear, and a touch of almond, underscored by vibrant acidity and a fine, persistent mousse. The finish is clean, crisp, and imbued with a lingering chalky minerality.

Crafted with a deep respect for its terroir, “Carkonnia” reflects Antoine Chevalier’s meticulous approach to sustainable viticulture and low-intervention winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested from carefully tended vineyards, fermented with native yeasts, and aged on lees to develop texture and depth. Bottled with minimal dosage in the Extra Brut style, the wine highlights the purity and precision of the 2020 vintage, a year celebrated for its balance and clarity.

This Blanc de Blancs is an ideal partner for delicate seafood dishes such as oysters, scallop ceviche, or poached halibut, as well as creamy risottos or light poultry preparations. Its combination of vibrancy and depth also makes it a delightful aperitif for special occasions. “Carkonnia” 2020 is a testament to Antoine Chevalier’s artistry and the timeless elegance of Côte des Blancs Chardonnay.

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!
