Love this. It’s from Champagne Savart, a small grower with 4 hectares of vines, in two communes: Ecueil and Villers-aux-Noeuds. These 4 hectares are made from 50 separate plots, all premier cru, and 35 000 bottles are produced annually. This is a serious fizz, and it’s tremendous value at around £30 retail.
Champagne Savart Premier Cru L’Accomplie NV France
80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay, half of it aged in oak. Concentrated, precise and mineral with citrus fruits and some fine, savoury characters. Lovely weight and balance; very fine and expressive. 95/100 (£32.40 Bottle Apostle; UK agent Indigo Wine)
Wonder if we will see this wine in the extra special Xmas bubbly tasting, done blind of course!!
Fully agree with you on this. Quite classic and classy in its interpretation. I love how Savart manages to achieve a very nice balance between the weight/density of the wine and finesse/elegance while remaining very focused. A serious drink indeed.
