Savart Champagne L’Ouverture Brut n.v.




Ecueil, Mountain of Reims, just here, the Savart family cultivate 4 hectares - one Chardonnay, three Pinot Noir - applying that agriculture called "rational", with some measures as banishing herbicides, decanting carried out by gravity, without fining or filtration.

L'Ouverture - Pinot Noir 100% - counts 20 thousand bottles, only steel, 18 months on the lees, dosed at 8 g / l. and represents the basic range product.

The nose has good freshness and brings immediately some characters of the Pinot Noir - strawberry, currant and raspberry - a crisp pear, citrus whiffs - red orange and tangerine - with white peppercorns and a constant mineral presence.

Despite some indecision, the taste reflects the setting olfactory, attributing most breath action to citrus tones and less to savory-mineral.

Delicate effervescence, vivacity and high drinkability, complete a sip, a whisker short, deliberately and distinctly designed for the aperò.
