Champagne Antoine Chevalier – Carkonnia 2020

Posted on July 12, 2025 by Anthony Gomes

A pure Chardonnay, signed Antoine Chevalier

Antoine Chevalier 's 2020 Carkonnia cuvée embodies a free, precise and vibrant vision of Chardonnay. Produced in the lieu-dit Le Jardin de Meunier in Vitry-en-Perthois , this champagne is the result of uncompromising work: mass selection, cultivation without weedkillers or synthetic products, aging on lees in stoneware vats, barrels and jars. Unfiltered and unfined, it elegantly restores the mineral energy of its chalky terroir.
