"The NV Blanc de Blancs Écueil Trépail is a new wine from Savart in the 2021 vintage a blend of Chardonnay from Écueil and Trépail. Tiny yields necessitated the blending of all the Chardonnay including several parcels that are typically vinified separately (such as Le Mont des Chrétiens) for this cuvée. Purchased fruit from parcels in Trépail account for 50% of the blend. Tangerine peel white flowers and marzipan are nicely amplified in the glass. A kiss of spice from the oak lingers on the close. This is essentially a vintage Champagne but not declared as such. Dosage of 4 grams per liter works well. Readers will find a Champagne of notable immediacy and allure. Disgorged: February 2024. - By Antonio Galloni on March 2024 Savart is one of the great success stories in Champagne over the last decade or so. That?s no longer news. What I admire most though is Fred Savart?s relentless quest to elevate quality and his curiosity in exploring new approaches such as the use of glass Wineglobes for some of his wines. This is not the easiest range to understand as that experimentation also leads to cases where the 750ml and 1.5L versions of the same wine undergo completely different approaches in the cellar with regards to vinification/aging vessels and closures something readers should note. The top wines here have been gorgeous for some time but the entry-level offerings have recently moved up a notch." —Vinous

More about Savart

It is only in recent times that Champagne Savart has begun to get a lot of buzz, since 2005, when Frédéric Savart took over the reins. As Alder eludes to in the quote above, this is a producer that deserves your attention.

The great thing about Grower Champagnes is that we can talk about places. Today we are just south of Reims in the Montagne de Reims. The name of the village is Écueil. Most of the soils are sandy, and Pinot Noir prevails. Here and there you also find strains of chalky soils, and so Savart also grows a little Chardonnay.

One village over is another place: Villers-aux-Noeuds. Anyone who pays extra close attention to this newsletter will know that this village is home to the great Emmanuel Brochet, who works a fine site called Mont Benoît. It turns out that Savart also has holdings in Mont Benoît. It’s a little chalkier than Écueil, but still pretty friendly to Pinot Noir, which is what Savart grows there.

In the cellar, Savart follows a non-interventionist recipe that includes stainless steel fermentation, aging in barrel, and a laissez-faire attitude towards malolactic fermentation. These are not fruit-forward Champagnes but wines of salinity, soil, and rock. That’s why those wine geeks are so excited!
