Vintage Character Champagne Carkonnia by Antoine Chevalier is an Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grown in the Les Jardins de Meunier lieu-dit within Côte des Blancs’ Vitryat terroir. Vinified and aged entirely in wooden barrels, it spends over 36 months on the lees before bottling with 0.8 g/L dosage. Bright and crystalline, its pale greenish-yellow hue and fine, dynamic perlage presage an elegant, multi-layered nose of lemon, pear, grapefruit, verbena, green apple, and hazelnut, evolving with aeration to smoky chalk, white peach, quince, and vanilla.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, creamy yet vibrant bubbles support crunchy fruit, taut acidity, and chalky-clayey minerality that leads to a slender, fresh, savoury finish of striking precision.
Winery Background Founded in 1925 by Guy Chevalier, the estate has been HVE certified since 2016, and under Antoine’s organic and biodynamic stewardship each vintage is parcel-vinified to express its unique terroir in harmony with lunar rhythms.
