🏰 Antoine Chevalier's Carkonnia Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2020 is a remarkable single-vineyard vintage Champagne, certified organic in 2020 and biodynamic in 2021, showcasing the purity and liveliness of the Coteaux Vitryats terroir. The 2020 vintage in Champagne experienced a hot and dry summer, which favored optimal grape maturity. Antoine Chevalier's philosophy emphasizes working with nature, with each plot vinified separately to preserve its unique character. 🍴 This pale gold Champagne with fine, persistent bubbles offers aromas of citrus fruits, green apple, delicate brioche, and almond. The palate is lively and elegant, with beautiful mineral freshness, a saline, and persistent finish. It can also reveal notes of white peach, Mirabelle plum, apricot, and a delicate woody savoriness, with a grippy, full-bodied character and biting acidity. This Extra Brut is a superb pairing for fine seafood, such as Cancale oysters, sea bass ceviche, roasted turbot fillet with beurre blanc, or shellfish like crab and lobster. It also complements sushi, sashimi, and aged Comté cheese. 🥂 Ideal for an aperitif, a celebratory toast, or as an elegant accompaniment to a seafood feast. Its crisp acidity and mineral profile make it incredibly refreshing and versatile. Serve between 8 and 10°C; a short aeration in the bottle can help to reveal its full aromatic complexity.
