Champagne Frédéric Savart l'Ouverture 1er Cru Brut NV

Montagne de Reims, Champagne, FranceSituated 10 km west of Reims, Frédéric Savart is based in the village of Écueil, in the Val de Reims. Continuing from his father's work with their 'laboratory of terroirs,' Savart has made the 4-hectare property his own and has become one of the superstars of the Grower Champagne movement. L'Ouverture is the introduction to Freddy's range, with three vintages of Pinot Noir from Écueil's sandy soils, native fermented and aged in a mix of stainless and barrel before heading to bottle. This bottle, from the cellar, was disgorged in October 2023, with 3.5 g/L. Burnished white cherry, raspberries, perfumed cherry blossoms, and lemon peel are based with a riffing chalkiness, and topped with a savoury umami overlay which is crying out for food.Tasted: 13 February 2026Tasted by: Prices:
