The History of Champagne Frédéric Savart

The estate’s story began in 1947, when René Savart bought his first vines in Écueil, around ten kilometers west of Reims. His son Daniel, nicknamed Dan Dan throughout Champagne, took over winemaking in the 1970s, but production remained tiny until the mid-1980s, when he significantly expanded the family’s vineyard holdings. Together with his father, he also planted the renowned massal selections of pinot fin from Écueil, now one of the estate’s treasures.

Frédéric, meanwhile, dreamed of a very different future: soccer. He even signed as a youth player with Stade de Reims before turning down a transfer and returning to the estate in 1993, at the age of twenty-three, to work alongside his father. In 2001, he left the cooperative, retaining only its pressing services, and since 2005 he has run the estate alone, overseeing both vineyard and cellar. His motto, inherited from his father, is simple: the best wine comes from the best grapes.

The Terroirs and Vineyards of Champagne Frédéric Savart

The vineyard covers four hectares across two neighboring villages in the Petite Montagne de Reims: around three hectares in Écueil and one in Villers-aux-Noeuds, both classified Premier Cru. Écueil is a historic pinot noir village, renowned for its pinot fin as early as the 1960s, when surrounding villages were planted mainly with meunier. Soils are notably sandy across much of the village’s vineyard area, more clay-rich midway up the slopes, with some distinctly chalky sites that bring tension and salinity.

At Villers-aux-Noeuds, chalk is even more prevalent, and the estate’s plots there are particularly prized for their massal selections of pinot fin from Écueil, planted by Daniel and René Savart. Several named plots are vinified separately: Le Mont Benoît in Villers-aux-Noeuds; Le Mont des Chrétiens and Les Noues in Écueil, the latter covering 43 south-facing ares; and Aillys, Chaillots Derrière, Moutier and Gillys, on clay-limestone soils. The approach to viticulture is above all preventive: rather than treating disease, Frédéric Savart seeks to create an environment in which the vines can defend themselves, without herbicides or synthetic pesticides.

Winemaking at Champagne Frédéric Savart

There is no fixed formula in the cellar. Some wines ferment in stainless steel tanks, others in barrels, with oak playing an increasingly important role since 2004. Frédéric Savart uses barrels ranging from 228 to 600 liters, including some new ones made from wood from the Écueil forest, as well as demi-muids and Stockinger casks, always aiming to add texture without imparting an overt oak character. The single-vineyard cuvées are fermented and aged entirely in oak, generally in 500-liter barrels, and rest for around ten months on fine lees.

Malolactic fermentation is neither routinely encouraged nor routinely blocked: whether it takes place depends on the wine and the character of the vintage. Cuvées containing a proportion of reserve wines undergo it naturally, as those wines have experienced more temperature cycles. Some cuvées are bottled without fining or filtration, and several are aged under cork rather than crown cap, refining the bubbles and enriching the texture. Dosage is always low and sometimes zero, using rectified concentrated grape must chosen for its neutrality. The result is vibrant, generous Champagnes with a distinct individuality, where ripe fruit meets the terroir’s mineral backbone.

The cuvées of Champagne Frédéric Savart

L'Ouverture Premier Cru Blanc de Noirs: the entry point to the range, but far from a mere introductory cuvée. Made from 100% pinot noir from Écueil, it blends equal parts from three successive vintages. Half is fermented in mostly neutral barrels and the other half in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is only partial, and the wine ages under cork. Expressive strawberry, cherry, peach and citrus marmalade fruit meets a chalky backbone that extends the finish. Dosage is around 7 grams per liter.

L'Accomplie Premier Cru: a blend of around 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay from Écueil and Villers-aux-Noeuds, comprising 70% base-vintage wine and 30% reserve wines from the previous two years. Aged in neutral barrels and stainless steel tanks, it reveals exotic fruit and gentle spice on the nose, with a silky, elegant palate. Dosage: 5 grams per liter.

Bulle de Rosé Premier Cru: a blended rosé sourced entirely from the village of Écueil, comprising around 70% pinot noir, 22% chardonnay and 8% red wine from the estate. Fermented mainly in stainless steel, with nearly 20% of the blend fermented in neutral barrels, it has a rose-petal hue and a nose of stewed red berries lifted by floral notes. The palate combines structure and vinosity without losing its generous fruit. Dosage: 6 grams per liter. One of the few Champagne rosés regarded first and foremost as great wines.

L'Année: a vintage cuvée comprising around 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay, made exclusively from the first pressings of the harvest. It is aged entirely in 500-liter barrels on lees, without malolactic fermentation, then bottled without fining or filtration. Dosage is 3 grams per liter, yielding a wine of great precision, marked by pure fruit and vibrancy.

Le Mont Benoît Premier Cru: a single plot in Villers-aux-Noeuds, made famous by local growers, planted with 95% pinot noir and 5% chardonnay. Aged in 600-liter demi-muids, the cuvée highlights the vinosity and saline precision that the chalk gives this slope’s pinot noir. A deep, refined blanc de noirs with a dosage of 3 grams per liter, it is one of the estate’s flagship cuvées.

Le Mont des Chrétiens Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs: from a high-density plot in Écueil planted entirely with chardonnay, fermented and aged in 500-liter barrels. The wine offers vibrant citrus and stone fruit, accented by a hint of toast and precise, finely etched acidity. With extended aging, its flavors gain complexity, revealing candied lemon, mandarin, marzipan, praline cream and smoky notes. Dosage: 3 grams per liter.

Les Noues Premier Cru Blanc de Noirs: the estate’s signature single-vineyard cuvée, from a 43-are, south-facing plot in Écueil planted with a massal selection of pinot noir. These vines produce small, highly concentrated berries. The wine is fermented in 500-liter barrels, including some new oak, then spends ten months on gross lees. A deep nose of rose petals, red fruit and brown sugar leads to a broad, multidimensional palate and a long, fragrant finish. Depending on the vintage, dosage ranges from zero to 3.5 grams per liter.

L'Expression Nature: the house’s most elusive cuvée, with only around 400 bottles produced. It comes from old pinot noir vines in the Aillys, Chaillots Derrière, Moutier and Gillys plots, on clay-limestone soils near Le Mont des Chrétiens. Fermented in 500-liter barrels and aged for ten months on lees, it is always vintage-dated and has no dosage, offering a raw, intense expression of Écueil’s terroir.

L'Expression Rosé Nature: made from the same plots and using the same methods as L'Expression, this rosé is a vintage-dated blended rosé, fermented in 500-liter barrels and aged for ten months on lees. With no dosage, it showcases the clay-limestone terroirs of Premier Cru Écueil with rare grace: a silky wine with a sleek body and remarkable energy. One of the estate’s most sought-after cuvées.

Haute Couture: a cuvée first made in 2016, from 100% chardonnay grown in two Grand Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger. Vinified in 350-liter barrels without malolactic fermentation, aged for ten months on lees and then under cork, it combines the fruity appeal of pear and yellow fruit with floral delicacy, citrus energy and a persistent saline note. Dosage: 2.5 grams per liter. Production is very limited.

Goutte d'Or: an exceptionally rare wine bottled only in magnums, with around 400 produced. The chardonnay comes from a single plot above the Chemin de Chalon. The wine spends around ten months on the lees without malolactic fermentation, with a low dosage of 2 grams per liter. It stands out for its greater texture and power than the house’s other cuvées.

Écueil-Trépail Blanc de Blancs: an exceptional cuvée born of the very low yields of 2021, when Frédéric Savart brought together all his chardonnay, including plots usually vinified separately, such as Le Mont des Chrétiens, to create a single wine. The result is a blanc de blancs of unexpected complexity and depth, testament to a difficult vintage turned into a success.

Les Champagnes Éphémères and other rarities: under this name, Fred Savart releases one-off cuvées produced in quantities of just a few hundred bottles or magnums. Examples include a vintage blanc de blancs from the Coteaux Sud d'Épernay, a Tirage Liège with an irresistibly creamy texture, and a chardonnay vinified in a Wine Globe, a glass vessel that produces wines of crystalline purity. The Dame de Coeur cuvée also appears occasionally—another estate rarity, produced in tiny quantities and reserved for collectors.
