Champagne Frédéric Savart L'accomplie 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes Extra 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. So moreish, with bright white cherry, crisp red apple and lively, tight acidity across a deeply chalky base, with a lengthy riffing finish. Very savoury; this is about the place, not fruit. Falling under Freddy Savart's Vins Singuliers, identitaires, this blend of organically farmed 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay comes from Écueil and Villiers-aux-Nœuds and fermented equally in stainless steel tanks on lees, and casks with partial MLF. 30% reserve wines come from the previous two vintages to the base. This bottle was disgorged in November 2021 with 4 g/L.Tasted: 20 April 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| QC | $228.25 | 750ml | SAQ |
