Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne 1er Cru Expression Nature by Savart is a refined Premier Cru Champagne Blanc de Noirs made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes. In the glass, it displays a straw yellow hue, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals notes of raspberry, yeast and spices, intertwined with a pronounced saline streak. On the palate, this Traditional Method Champagne is dry and linear, supported by vibrant mineral tension and a substantial structural volume. Rated 94 points by Vinous, it is the ideal pairing for roasted fish, mature cheeses and red meat dishes.
Where it comes from
This label originates from Écueil, a renowned village in the Champagne region. Savart employs meticulous viticulture, based on manual interventions and sustainable practices. This approach aims to preserve a living and diverse ecosystem, an essential condition for the vine to convey the typical saline imprint of the terroir. The dedication to territorial purity results in an extremely limited production of only four hundred bottles, making this offering a rare and precious artisanal expression.
How it is produced
The processing of the Pinot Noir grapes follows the intention of delivering an authentic interpretation of the territory. The secondary fermentation takes place according to the rules of the Traditional Method, with no added sugar, resulting in an essential and profound zero dosage. The slow ageing in wooden barrels shapes the dense flavour profile, enhancing complexity without compromising the mineral character. This rigorous approach ensures an ageing potential of up to twenty-five years, allowing the wine to evolve with extraordinary elegance.
