Made in a tiny limited edition and bottled at an ultra-low dosage, it offers a distinctly dry, mineral style with serious depth and age-worthy structure. It is a compelling expression of one of Champagne’s most characterful Premier Cru vineyards, crafted for drinkers who value purity and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a bright golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The bouquet opens with floral lift, chalky minerality, and subtle notes of fresh bread crust, giving it both delicacy and complexity.\n\nOn the palate, it is deep and full-bodied yet linear, with Extra Brut dryness sharpening the fruit and emphasizing its crystalline finish. The structure is firm and refined, and the wine has excellent aging potential, developing even greater nuance over 10 to 15 years in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Champagne comes from a single Chardonnay parcel, Le Mont des Chretiens, in Écueil, a Premier Cru village in the Champagne region of France. The site’s soils and climate lend the wine its marked mineral character and aromatic clarity, while the single-vineyard approach highlights the identity of the terroir. It is vinified using the traditional method, with secondary fermentation in bottle and a very low dosage of just 2 g\/l to preserve the wine’s dry, direct style. Savart’s careful, hands-on farming and restrained cellar work are designed to protect fruit purity and let the site speak clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for raw fish, shellfish, and delicate seafood dishes, as well as soft, creamy cheeses that can complement its tension and salinity. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and consider a short decant only if you want to open up its more reductive or tightly wound aromas; otherwise, it is best enjoyed straight from the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrédéric Savart is one of Champagne’s respected grower-producers, known for crafting precise, terroir-focused wines from carefully tended parcels in the Montagne de Reims.
