Champagne Savart Champagne 1er Cru Brut L'Ouverture

WA93: Disgorged in October 2018 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage, the latest rendition of Savart's NV Brut Premier Cru L'Ouverture is a blend of the 2014, 2015 and 2016 vintages, produced entirely from Pinot Noir, some 30% of which is purchased as grapes. Offering up a classy bouquet of minty yellow orchard fruit, white flowers, fresh peach and warm pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, fine-boned and elegant, with a pinpoint mousse, ripe but racy acids and a long finish. Pristinely balanced, its understated delicacy is typical both of the site and Savart's style.
