Description
What kind of wine is it
The Champagne Ecueil 1er Cru Le Mont des Chrétiens Extra Brut by Savart is a Blanc de Blancs made from Chardonnay grapes. Crafted using the Traditional Method, it displays a golden colour and a fine, persistent perlage. The floral bouquet is enriched with mineral notes and hints of bread crust. On the palate, it is deep and full-bodied, with an Extra Brut dosage that ensures a dry and linear style. The clean finish and solid structure indicate remarkable ageing potential, making it ideal to pair with raw fish, shellfish, and soft cheeses.
Where does it come from
This Blanc de Blancs originates in France, in Écueil, a village historically classified as Premier Cru. The wine’s identity is closely linked to the single plot Le Mont des Chrétiens, which clearly expresses the vocation of the area. This location imparts the Chardonnay with pronounced aromatic clarity. The soil and climate conditions deliver in the glass an authentic expression of the Champagne terroir, characterised by marked minerality and a profile true to its origins.
How is it produced
The prise de mousse occurs through secondary fermentation in the bottle, according to the Traditional Method. Savart favours manual work and careful practices to protect the ecosystem and the quality of the fruit. The winemaking process avoids invasive interventions, preserving a pure expression of the terroir. This approach is complemented by a minimal addition of sugar, an essential choice to ensure a dry and direct taste, in total harmony with the true identity of the raw material.
History and Curiosities
In 2020, Frédéric Savart created a pure expression of the Écueil terroir with this prestigious Blanc de Blancs, born from the single plot Le Mont des Chrétiens. The result of meticulous manual craftsmanship, this Champagne Extra Brut made from Chardonnay grapes boasts a dosage of just 2 g/l to preserve the authentic essence of the grape variety. Produced in an exclusive limited edition of only 2,836 bottles, it promises a magnificent evolution of 10-15 years in the cellar, confirmed by the excellent scores from James Suckling and Robert Parker.
