Le Mont des Chrétiens 1er Cru Extra-Brut Savart 2016
The wine
This 100% Chardonnay cuvée from the village of Ecueil (the Mont des Chrétiens lieu-dit) is fermented in a 600-litre cask. It is dosed at 3g/l, and opens to reveal a slender, complex profile, with refined bubbles.
About the Producer Savart
Maison Savart describes itself as a producer of "auteur" wines. Lying 10 km west of Reims, the domain is in the village of Ecueil which has specialised in growing Pinot Noir for many years. Frédéric Savart has made the 4 hectare property his own, continuing his father's work on this "laboratory of terroirs". He produces exciting, fresh and quite varietal champagnes always with a predominance of Pinot Noir. Its limited production (40,000 bottles approximately) make it well worth the detour!
