Champagne Carkonia Millesime Extra Brut 2019

What kind of wine it is

Antoine Chevallier Champagne Carkonia Extra Brut is a refined Blanc de Blancs that expresses the purity of Chardonnay through a floral and fruity aromatic profile. In the glass, this wine displays a bright straw yellow colour enriched with golden highlights, accompanied by a fine and persistent perlage. On the palate, it is elegant and enveloping, offering a long finish that pairs perfectly with fish dishes, shellfish and cheeses. Its dry nature makes it ideal for accompanying refined appetisers, especially when served chilled.

Where it comes from

This Blanc de Blancs originates from Vitry-en-Perthois, a commune located within the renowned Champagne region in France. The deep connection with the land is reflected in Antoine Chevallier's agricultural approach, who manages his vineyards following strict organic and sustainable principles. This dedication to the land enhances the natural characteristics of the soil, ensuring a faithful expression of the grapes. The care taken in the vineyard translates into a wine that encapsulates the essence of the French landscape, offering a tasting experience deeply linked to the area's winemaking vocation.

How it is produced

Production strictly follows the Traditional Method, a technique that involves secondary fermentation in the bottle to develop an elegant and silky mousse. To preserve the aromatic integrity and natural structure, the winery carries out vinification without filtration. The choice of an Extra Brut style ensures a clean and linear flavour profile, enhancing the liveliness of the fruit. Thanks to these meticulous processes, the wine develops remarkable ageing potential, capable of maturing and becoming even more complex over the years.
