Frederic Savart
Of special note is the very limited Expression Rose which many of you have been awaiting, it is here!
Frederic Savart has been making wine for the family’s domain since 2005, producing Champagne from four hectares of mostly Pinot Noir vineyards with just half a hectare of Chardonnay. He carefully monitors both vineyards and cellar, making decisions based on observations rather than preconceived ideas. Fermentation is mainly done in stainless steel, but he also employs the use of oak barriques for added complexity and nuance.
Savart’s wines are known for their complexity, precision, and skilled winemaking. His latest release is impressive as always. While demand for these wines is high among Champagne connoisseurs, they are often difficult to obtain due to their small production. If you’re interested in trying Frederic Savart’s style, start with the L’Accomplie, a well-balanced blend of the powerful Pinot Noir and the subtle nuances that characterize his wines. If you prefer dry, focused, and mineral-driven Champagnes, Savart’s offerings are sure to impress.
