🏰 About the Winemaker
Frédéric Savart represents a new generation of meticulous winemakers deeply sensitive to pure terroir expression. Based in Écueil, Montagne de Reims, he cultivates his vines with extreme care, limiting yields, vinifying with indigenous yeasts, and crafting champagnes with strong personality. “Le Mont Benoît,” from a unique parcel, reflects this vision: controlled intensity, chiseled texture, and impeccable balance between fruit and minerality.
