Reviews 93 points Wine Advocate "(based on a blend of 2014, 2015, and 2016 vintages) Offering up a classy bouquet of minty yellow orchard fruit, white flowers, fresh peach and warm pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, fine-boned and elegant, with a pinpoint mousse, ripe but racy acids and a long finish. Pristinely balanced, its understated delicacy is typical both of the site and Savart's style. (WK)" 91 points John Gilman "(Based on the bacth disgorged in September of 2020) The l'Ouverture cuvee from Monsieur Savart is composed entirely from pinot noir grown in the village of Ecueil, with half of the vins clairs barrel-fermented and raised in cask and the other in tank. Only the reserve wines that go into the blend have gone through malo for this wine, which is aged under cork, rather than crown cap prior to disgorgement. This release was disgorged in September of 2020 and finished with a dosage of seven grams per liter. It offers up a lovely nose of white peach, apple, patissiere, chalky soil tones and a nice touch of orange zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and complex, with a fine core, good mineral drive, frothy mousse and lovely focus and balance on the long and youthful finish. This is a lovely bottle that will be even better with a few years in the cellar. (JG)"

About Savart

Fred Savart, an enthused and dynamic producer, crafts delightfully engaging Champagnes that are often the first to disappear from any selection. His lively personality and ardor for viticulture are mirrored in his wines, resulting in bottles that captivate your senses and leave you yearning for another taste.

Established in Ecueil, Fred is a third-generation winegrower, overseeing most of his vineyards within this region and a selection of vines in the neighboring Villers-aux-Nœuds, located on the southern fringes of Reims. He cultivates predominantly Pinot Noir, supplemented with a smaller portion of Chardonnay, each wine showcasing the distinct traits of its terroir.

Savart's Champagnes defy definition by any single characteristic. They are a remarkable combination of conscientious farming, low-intervention cellar practices, and Fred's intuitive winemaking approach. His philosophy emphasizes capturing and magnifying the purest essence of each year's bounty from mother nature, resulting in bottles that embody the pinnacle expression of their terroir.

Fred Savart’s wines possess an alluring complexity that may be overlooked due to their sheer vivacity and charismatic allure. They masterfully balance rich layers of flavor and intense vivacity with an underpinning of brisk acidity, rendering them both tantalizing and invigorating. In contrast to the harsh austerity of some contemporary Champagnes, Savart's creations welcome you warmly, like a comforting gesture from a dear friend.
