Location: France

The Savart estate is located 10 kilometers west of Reims, at Ecueil near Montagne de Reims. Here, Frederic has taken over his father’s vineyard consisting of 4ha of Pinot Noir and a touch of Chardonnay. His philosophy in the vineyards is to prevent disease as much as possible, rather than treat it. He prefers a holistic approach, creating an environment within which the plant is better equipped to resist malady on its own. The soils in this area varies quite a lot; many parcels in Ecueil are notably sandy, although there’s more clay on the mid-slope, and a few areas that are relatively chalky. 

While most of the wines ferments in steel and carry a rather “straight” expression, the style of Frederic´s wines are a incredibly balanced expression of said straightness and freshness with complex and rich flavor profiles. All in all stunning wines that unfortunately are minimal in quantities.
