Frederic Savart is a Champagne producer located in the "Petit Montagne de Reims" region of Champagne, France. This area is primarily known for its production of Pinot Noir, with a small amount of high-quality Chardonnay from premier cru villages blended in. The estate is currently managed by Frédéric Savart, who represents the third generation of the family. Frédéric Savart is a Burgundy wine enthusiast, and his top three favorite wineries are Leroy, Clos de Tart, and Roumier. These three estates serve as his inspiration and driving force, as he aspires to create Champagnes with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that can rival the quality of those produced in Burgundy.
Frédéric Savart incorporates Burgundian principles and techniques into his winemaking. He focuses on old vines and employs natural methods to combat pests. Fermentation takes place in small oak barrels, with up to seven different sizes of barrels used for blending. The wines are not clarified or filtered, resulting in highly layered, refined, and elegant Champagnes with a pronounced mineral character. Frédéric Savart is considered a legendary and talented figure in the Champagne industry.
The majority of the production, approximately 70%, is sold within France. The estate covers only around 4 hectares, making the production extremely limited. With just a few thousand bottles available in the international market, these Champagnes are highly sought after and are often collected by Champagne enthusiasts. It is a remarkable Champagne producer that should not be missed by Champagne lovers.
