Frederic Savart

A visit with Frederic Savart at his eponymous estate is an exhilarating experience that transcends a simple cellar tasting. This passionate vigneron is first and foremost a farmer obsessed with the diverse terroirs of the Montagne de Reims. But he's also an insatiable wine geek, as evidenced by the "dead soldiers" from legendary producers lining his cellar entrance. An evening with Frederic often revolves around a lively blind tasting, where he eagerly shares his latest cuvée obsessions - nearly a dozen different wines crafted from just 4 hectares of vines. In his own words, Frederic Savart is "a laboratory of terroirs and a creator of cuvées," embodying a terroir-driven yet boundary-pushing approach that has earned him a reputation as one of Champagne's most innovative grower-producers.
