Frederic Savart produces incredible Champagne from tiny organically-farmed parcels in the villages of Ecueil and Villers-aux-Noeuds. L’Ouverture is a brilliant three-vintage blanc de noir fermented in a combination of stainless steel and neutral barrels, before aging under cork. It is medium to full-bodied, graceful and superbly balanced, really emphasising the Savart style. Flavours centre on orchard fruit, white flowers and pastry.

Disgorged in January 2025 with a dosage of 3.5 grams per liter, the latest release of Savart`s NV L`Ouverture is predominantly based on the 2022 vintage (60%), with the remainder from the 2021 and 2020 vintages. Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir grown in Écueil, it includes 40% purchased fruit, which Savart’s team harvests themselves. The wine is vinified in 350-, 400-, 500- and 600-liter barrels, with 5% to 10% of the barrels being new. Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, red apple, pastries and spices, it`s medium-bodied and fruit-forward, with succulent yet vibrant acidity and an expansive finish. Among Savart’s range, this particular wine may come across as somewhat straightforward. - Kristaps Karklins

The NV Brut L’Ouverture, 100% Pinot Noir from Ecueil, is a terrific introduction to Frederic Savart’s wines. Creamy and ample, with lovely textural richness, the Ouverture has so much to offer. The breadth of Pinot comes through nicely in this open-knit, engaging Champagne. Red cherry, plum, spice and pastry notes are pushed forward. Some of the initial intensity drops off on the finish, otherwise the Ouverture is very nicely done. This release is a blend of equal parts 2016, 2015 and 2014. Dosage is 5.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2019.
