Frederic Savart L'Ouverture Blanc de Noirs Premier Cru Brut, Champagne, France NV Ricca Terra unripe peach and crushed chalkBased on the 2019 vintage and disgorged in February 2022, Savart's NV Brut Premier Cru L'Ouverture offers up expressive aromas of pear, honeyed orchard fruit, baking spices and fresh bread. Medium bodied, lively and fine boned, with a pretty core of fruit, lively acids and a pinpoint mousse, it's an attractive wine that's showing well out of the gates. 91 Pts Robert Parker
