Amongst the first round of ‘grower champagne’ producers to break into the US market, the work of Frederic Savart has always been compelling and continues to be a touchstone for thoughtful, terroir-driven Champagne. Of course, the downside to producers like this becoming more well known is that there is less of it to go around. Working with just 4 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across two villages, Ecueil and Villers-aux-Noeuds,  the production has not increased. The demand certainly has.

From Ecueil, Le Mont des Chrétiens is Savart’s chardonnay gem. Fermented and aged in 500L oak barrels, this is a wine that balances richness with remarkable lift and focus. With only a few thousand cases to share globally each year, and a restrained 3g/L dosage, it is both a rare and refined expression of Savart's cellar.
