NV Frederic Savart 'Bulle de Rosé' (base 2019)

Frederic Savart is based in Ecueil, a small village located in the Montagne de Reims. He is a 3rd generation vignerons that came back at the estate in 2005, working 4 hectares of organically-farmed vineyards mostly  planted with Pinot Noir with only half hectares of Chardonnay. The family business was founded by Frederic's grandfather who bought the first vineyards in 1947. Frederic spends most of his life in the vineyards, working the soil and looking after his vines. He embraces an ideal of preventing diseases and pest rather than combating them after they have hits his vineyards, encouraging a diverse ecosystem for the plant. After harvest, he does as little as possible in the cellar, the production has always remained extremely limited and Frederic is making high quality, authentic and genuine Champagne that are highly sought after. Why do we like it? Bulle de Rosé by Frederic Savart is a very special Champagne from this boutique producer. Coming from his Premier Cru terroir. It is an assemblage of 65% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, as well as 5% Pinot Noir vinified as red. It rests partially in wooden barrels as well as steel tanks and has a low dosage (2 g/l). It has an attractive salmon colour, touch of strawberries and roses, a bit of fresh bread and Christmas spices, one of the most refined and complex Champagne Rosé you will ever taste, to be shared with someone special!   Grape           65% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Noir vinified as still red Country        France                                  Region          Champagne                                        Vintage         Base 2019
