The production of Antoine Chevalier's Tecta Silva 2020 champagne

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

The 2020 vintage

The 2020 vintage in Champagne was marked by favorable weather conditions, with an early spring and a hot summer, allowing the grapes to ripen evenly. In the Coteaux Vitryats, these conditions promoted intense aromatic expression and beautiful acidity, characteristics that are found in the 2020 Tecta Silva cuvée.
