Savart Description
John Gilman: 91+ Points
"The l’Ouverture cuvée from Monsieur Savart is composed entirely from pinot noir grown in the village of Écueil with half of the vins clairs barrel-fermented and raised in cask and the other in tank. Only the reserve wines that go into the blend have gone through malo for this wine which is aged under cork rather than crown cap prior to disgorgement. This release was disgorged in September of 2020 and finished with a dosage of seven grams per liter. It offers up a lovely nose of white peach apple patissière chalky soil tones and a nice touch of orange zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is crisp full-bodied and complex with a fine core good mineral drive frothy mousse and lovely focus and balance on the long and youthful finish. This is a lovely bottle that will be even better with a few years in the cellar. 2021-2040+."

"The NV Extra-Brut L’Ouverture is 100% Pinot Noir, base 2020 with 25% reserve wines each from 2019 and 2018. Crushed red berry fruit and white flowers lend notable brightness throughout. This nervy, taut Champagne is all class. Dosage is 3.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2023." - Antonio Galloni
