Description
The Carkonnia 2020 cuvée from Champagne Antoine Chevalier is an expressive Blanc de Blancs with aromas of yellow fruits and dried fruits. It is an ideal cuvée for an aperitif or to accompany noble fish and aged cheeses.
The Making of Champagne Carkonnia 2020 by Antoine Chevalier
The Carkonnia 2020 cuvée is made exclusively from Chardonnay from the "Le Jardin de Meunier" plot in Vitry-en-Perthois, planted in 1954. This terroir of the Coteaux Vitryats, characterized by chalky soils, gives the wine a distinctive minerality. The winemaking combines aging in stainless steel vats to preserve freshness, and in oak barrels to bring complexity and depth. After nearly three years of aging in the cellars, the cuvée is dosed as Extra Brut at 2 g/L, highlighting the purity of the Chardonnay.
The 2020 Vintage
The 2020 vintage in Champagne was marked by favorable climatic conditions, yielding grapes of high quality. In the Coteaux Vitryats, the Chardonnay particularly benefited from this year, developing rich aromas and beautiful acidity, elements found in the Carkonnia 20 cuvée.

Tasting
By Patrick BorrasRobe
The pale golden hue immediately reveals the color. Here we have a Blanc de Blancs from chalky soil! The bubble is fine, delicate, and pleasing to the eye.
Nose
On the nose, there are fresh notes of citrus, mineral notes that echo the chalk of the terroir, which stand out. It is a very pleasant nose, with a beautiful aromatic intensity, especially on the fruit. Roasted aromas come to complement this beautiful aromatic palette.
Palate
In the mouth, Carkonnia 20 is very pleasant, with a round attack, then the wine on the palate shows richness and unctuousness. A texture that is certainly due to the aging of this very beautiful champagne on fine lees. The finish remains lively, thus offering a very nice balance.
Service
This is a cuvée that I recommend serving as an aperitif, but it will also pair beautifully with seafood thanks to its salinity and sapidity. A wonderful discovery!
