Notes from Grand Cru Selections:

"Frédéric Savart was born into a family of vignerons, but his real dream was to be a professional footballer. He even signed a youth contract with Stade de Reims, but after meeting the woman who was to become his wife, he refused a potential transfer to another club, and decided to return home to work with his father, Daniel. The family estate was founded by Daniel's father, René Savart, who purchased his first vines in 1947. Fred returned in 1993 at age 23 and in 2001 he left the cooperative, only doing pressing there. Since 2005, Frédéric has been at the helm of the estate."

Wine Advocate:

Savart's 2020 Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Haute Couture, matured for 10 months in second-use 456-liter barrels from a winemaker in Meursault, was disgorged in December 2024 with a modest dosage of two grams per liter. Flamboyant and open-knit, especially for this village, it emanates from the glass with a bouquet of pear, dried white flowers and orange zest. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, ample and vinous, with a lush core of ripe fruit and an expansive, lingering finish.
