Champagne Les Noues 2019 Frederic Savart

Champagne Frédéric Savart – Les Noues 2019

A Pinot Noir with rich and complex nuances

Les Noues 2019 is a cuvée that perfectly expresses the character of Pinot Noir from Écueil, a small gem in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. Like the 2020 vintage, but with additional maturity that enhances its complexity, this Champagne showcases the finesse and intensity of the terroir, while maintaining the freshness and tension that define Savart’s style.

The wine comes from the Les Noues parcel, but the variability of the 2019 harvest brings greater roundness and richness, creating a cuvée that captivates with its balance between fruit, minerality, and wood.

In the vineyard

Frédéric continues to work his vineyard with a sustainable viticulture approach, free from herbicides or synthetic pesticides. The vines are carefully nurtured, and the work in the vineyard is always aimed at respecting the natural biodiversity of the soil. The harvest is done manually, with a strict selection to ensure that only the best grapes make it to the winery.

In the winery

The vinification takes place entirely in used wood (barriques and demi-muids), just like in 2020, but the structure and complexity of the 2019 vintage express themselves in a more enveloping way. Fermentation occurs with native yeasts, and malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve the freshness and natural tension of the wine. After approximately 10 months of aging on the lees, the wine is bottled and continues to age sur lattes. The dosage is kept to a minimum, allowing the wine to express itself in its purest form.

Frédéric Savart Champagne: Artisanal Excellence from the Montagne de Reims

In the world of Champagne, Frédéric Savart has become a key name for both enthusiasts and professionals. Based in the village of Écueil, his domaine operates on a small, artisanal scale but with a modern and precise vision. His approach—rooted in respect for the terroir, minimal intervention, and a deep understanding of each vintage—has resulted in cuvées that combine intensity, finesse, and unmistakable character.

The Identity of Écueil: A Terroir Expressed in Every Bottle

Écueil lies on the western edge of the Montagne de Reims, a region historically renowned for Pinot Noir. The soils here, composed of chalk and sand, bring a distinct mineral tension and aromatic clarity to the wines. Savart also works small plots in Villiers-aux-Noeuds, adding further nuance and complexity to his blends.

In total, Frédéric cultivates around four hectares, all farmed with methods that respect the natural balance of the vineyard. Biodiversity is encouraged, chemical inputs are kept to a minimum, and every decision in the vineyard is made with the long-term vitality of the soil in mind.

A Distinct Style, Rooted in Precision and Sensitivity

What sets Savart apart is his ability to combine vibrant energy with layered depth. Each cuvée is crafted with intent, shaped by the unique character of its origin, yet marked by his signature style. Oak is used with precision. Malolactic fermentations are selectively allowed. Aging on the lees is carefully timed. The goal is always to reveal purity, structure, and finesse.

Yet beyond technique, there is an almost intuitive element to Savart’s winemaking. It comes from a deep familiarity with his land and a willingness to let each vintage guide the process. Nothing is forced, and no formula is rigidly followed—each wine is the result of constant listening and adaptation.

Signature Cuvées That Define a Philosophy

Among his most iconic expressions is L’Ouverture, a 100% Pinot Noir that captures the vibrant essence of Écueil—red fruit, lifted acidity, and refined balance. L’Accomplie, a Pinot Noir–Chardonnay blend, offers more complexity and a layered, elegant profile. For collectors and connoisseurs, the domaine’s single-parcel bottlings and micro-vinified editions present rare opportunities to taste Champagne in its most unfiltered form.

Each label tells a story. Not of stylistic flamboyance or overextraction, but of transparency, place, and purpose. These are wines that do not shout but speak clearly—and stay with you.

Why Choose Frédéric Savart

Drinking a bottle of Savart Champagne is more than a tasting experience. It’s a choice to support a grower who has deliberately taken a different path—one that favors authenticity over volume, craft over convention. In a region often defined by grandeur and marketing, his wines are an intimate, deeply personal expression of what Champagne can be when it’s made with care, vision, and soul.
