Disgorged in January 2025 with a dosage of 3.5 grams per liter, the latest release of Savart''s NV L''Ouverture is predominantly based on the 2022 vintage (60%), with the remainder from the 2021 and 2020 vintages. Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir grown in Écueil, it includes 40% purchased fruit, which Savart’s team harvests themselves. The wine is vinified in 350-, 400-, 500- and 600-liter barrels, with 5% to 10% of the barrels being new. Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, red apple, pastries and spices, it''s medium-bodied and fruit-forward, with succulent yet vibrant acidity and an expansive finish. Among Savart’s range, this particular wine may come across as somewhat straightforward.
