Description
What type of wine it is
Savart Ecueil 1er Cru Le Mont des Chrétiens Extra Brut Champagne is a Blanc de Blancs that celebrates Chardonnay. Produced using the Traditional Method, it presents with a golden-yellow hue and a refined perlage. The bouquet offers floral notes, a distinct mineral edge, and fragrant hints of bread crust. On the palate, the Extra Brut dosage defines a dry and vertical sip, supported by an impressive structure and a clean finish, ideal for accompanying raw fish, shellfish, and soft cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in Écueil, a village historically classified as Premier Cru. The single plot Le Mont des Chrétiens fully expresses the viticultural vocation of the area. The particular soil and climate conditions give the Chardonnay a marked aromatic clarity and a deep character. This close bond with the land translates into a vibrant profile of minerality, defining an essential style that is a pure expression of its region of origin.
How it is produced
The production process involves re-fermentation in the bottle, typical of the Traditional Method. In the vineyard, Savart adopts manual practices to respect natural balances, while in the cellar, a low-intervention approach is followed to safeguard the integrity of the fruit. The meticulous care of the raw material is completed with a minimal sugar dosage, which ensures a dry and immediate taste, capable of reflecting the authentic expression of the terroir and the characteristic structure of the grape variety.
