Champagne Frédéric Savart Le Mont des Chrétiens 1er Cru Extra Brut 2017
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 first and leading superstars of the Grower Champagne movement. Le Mont des Chrétiens is a lieu dit in Écueil planted to chardonnay. This was native fermented and aged in 500L barrels. This bottle was disgorged in February 2021 with 2g/L. Powerful and concentrated, with wood toast scenting white cherry, lemon pith, green apple, and deep chalk. A vein of flinty reduction grows in the glass as the wine opens, yet still a driving, racy chardonnay acidity spires this long through the saline finish. Contemplative, give this time to open and unravel. 2047 bottles made.Tasted: 01 December 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| QC | $263.50 | 750ml | SAQ |
