Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Grand Cru Haute Couture Extra Brut by Savart is a rigorous Blanc de Blancs that enhances Chardonnay. Crafted according to the Traditional Method, it shines in the glass with a straw-yellow hue and golden highlights, featuring a fine and elegant perlage. The bouquet reveals notes of ripe citrus fruits and white flowers, enriched by clear chalky nuances and a delicate toastiness. On the palate, it expresses a dry and linear style, supported by a pronounced mineral tension that leads the sip towards a long and distinctly savoury finish.
Where it comes from
This Grand Cru originates from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a renowned village in Champagne. The identity of this wine is closely linked to the composition of the chalky soils, a distinctive geological feature that imparts a sensation of extreme purity and depth to the palate. Savart's philosophy is based on an artisanal approach to the land. The primary aim is to deliver an authentic expression of the terroir, allowing the natural qualities of the vineyard to shine without imposing any stylistic constraints during the winemaking process.
How it is produced
The cuvée is born from organic and sustainable viticulture, favouring manual work to maintain a vibrant ecosystem. The vinification and maturation stages are carefully calibrated to preserve the integrity of the fruit, ensuring a dry and precise sip. Ageing on the lees creates a silky mousse that amplifies the wine's vibrant character. Thanks to its saline nature, this Extra Brut pairs magnificently with oysters and raw seafood, and also beautifully complements white fish and cheese selections.
