Frédéric Savart was born into a family of vignerons, but his real dream was to be a professional footballer. He even signed a youth contract with Stade de Reims, but after meeting the woman who was to become his wife, he refused a potential transfer to another club, and decided to return home to work with his father, Daniel. The family estate was founded by Daniel's father, René Savart, who purchased his first vines in 1947. Daniel himself took over the winemaking in the 1970s, although production remained extremely small until the mid-1980s, when he significantly expanded the family's vineyard holdings. Fred returned in 1993 at age 23 and in 2001 he left the cooperative, only doing pressing there. Since 2005, Frédéric has been at the helm of the estate. Le Mont des Chrétiens is a lieu dit in the village Ecueil. The parcel is entirely of Chardonnay and Fred ferments and ages it in 500L barrels. The dosage is 3g/L.----TASTING NOTES: Antonio Galloni -- 93-95Pts--- The 2022 Extra-Brut Le Mont des Chretiens is a hugely promising young wine. This sample was disgorged a la volee, without dosage, whereas the finished wine will see some dosage on the lower side, as is the norm here. Ripe pear, apricot, white flowers, chalk and mint are some of the notes that grace this exquisite, mid-weight Blanc de Blancs. Dosage will be around 2 grams per liter.
