Frédéric Savart's Cuvée Mont Benoît 2014 is a rare champagne, with only 2000 bottles produced. It's a wine that pays tribute to Pinot Noir, the star grape of the Montagne de Reims terroir. The blend is based on 95% Pinot Noir, enlivened by a touch of Chardonnay (5%). The grapes come from Le Mont Benoît, in the village of Villers-aux-Noeuds.
Le Mont Benoît 2014 highlights the talent of Frédéric Savart, who likes to create cuvées with a beautiful vinosity, cuvées that look to the Grands Vins Blancs de Bourgogne. Frédéric Savart chose to vinify and age this cuvée in wood to give it a certain vinosity and volume. The wines spent 10 months in barrel, without stirring. Malolactic fermentation was blocked to preserve tension and enhance ageing potential.
Savart's Mont Benoit 2014 is an exceptional champagne for discerning tasters only!
