Champagne 1er Cru L'Ouverture Extra Brut

Description

The Savart Champagne L'Ouverture Brut from Maison Frédéric Savart is an AOC champagne produced in two villages classified as Premier Cru: Écueil and Villieurs-aux-Noeuds. We are in the Marne department, in the heart of the Champagne terroir, in a landscape where the Montagne de Reims protect the vineyards from excessive cold. The climate of the small village of Écueil is influenced by both continental and oceanic influences. Harsh winters and spring frosts alternate with dry, sunny summers; the combination of these microclimates gives the area's wines a high acidity level. The soil features a characteristic chalky layer, called craie, which, in addition to giving the champagne a distinctive mineral note, retains moisture to release it during drier periods. Savart Champagne L'Ouverture Brut is the result of a very specific philosophy: the best grapes for the best wines. The Pinot Noir, the absolute star of this champagne, is grown without the aid of machinery and in full respect of an ecosystem where only Nature dictates the ripening times of the vines and gives the final product a flavor and structure that are never codified but always different. The manual harvest is the prelude to a vinification that begins with a unique blend. Savart Champagne L'Ouverture Brut is in fact born from a cuvée made with 85% grapes from the first pressing and 15% from first cut grapes, or second pressing.

From this winery

Our approach, when it comes to vine and wine, intends to preserve an expression of nature that is as pure as possible. Our philosophy can be summarized in a single sentence : "The best wine is made using the best grapes."

In the vineyard, we give priority to handwork and preventive methods. Our aim is not to eradicate diseases but to preserve or help create a lively and varied ecosystem.Therefore, vinification and maturation do not consist of shaping wines according to our own wishes but in keeping and protecting a unique and fragile creation of Mother Nature. This enables you to discover all the aspects, all the differences, in other words, all the subtleties of our appellation. Our approach makes the Savart Champagne a laboratory of terroirs and designer cuvée. Read more
