The Making of Antoine Chevalier's Tecta Silva 2020 Champagne

The Tecta Silva 2020 vintage is made exclusively from Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of the region. The grapes come from the "Les Renardes" plot in Couvrot, located in the Coteaux Vitryats, where the clay-limestone soils and southeastern exposure promote optimal ripening. Antoine Chevalier practices organic viticulture, respectful of the environment. The winemaking combines the use of stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit, and oak barrels to bring complexity and sapidity. After nearly three years of aging in the cellars, the vintage is dosed as Extra Brut with only 2 g/L of sugar, offering a balanced wine with beautiful tension.

The 2020 Vintage

The 2020 vintage in Champagne was marked by favorable climatic conditions, with an early spring and a hot summer, allowing for homogeneous ripening of the grapes. In the Coteaux Vitryats, these conditions favored an intense aromatic expression and beautiful acidity, characteristics found in the Tecta Silva 2020 vintage.
