"The NV Blanc de Blancs Écueil Trépail is a new wine from Savart in the 2021 vintage a blend of Chardonnay from Écueil and Trépail. Tiny yields necessitated the blending of all the Chardonnay including several parcels that are typically vinified separately (such as Le Mont des Chrétiens) for this cuvée. Purchased fruit from parcels in Trépail account for 50% of the blend. Tangerine peel white flowers and marzipan are nicely amplified in the glass. A kiss of spice from the oak lingers on the close. This is essentially a vintage Champagne but not declared as such. Dosage of 4 grams per liter works well. Readers will find a Champagne of notable immediacy and allure. Disgorged: February 2024. - By Antonio Galloni on March 2024 Savart is one of the great success stories in Champagne over the last decade or so. That?s no longer news. What I admire most though is Fred Savart?s relentless quest to elevate quality and his curiosity in exploring new approaches such as the use of glass Wineglobes for some of his wines. This is not the easiest range to understand as that experimentation also leads to cases where the 750ml and 1.5L versions of the same wine undergo completely different approaches in the cellar with regards to vinification/aging vessels and closures something readers should note. The top wines here have been gorgeous for some time but the entry-level offerings have recently moved up a notch." -Vinous
