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:

"Disgorged in January 2025 with a dosage of two grams per liter, Savart's 2020 Verzenay Les Voiettes was sourced from a single vineyard planted with Pinot Noir. Vinified in 350-liter barrels, this cuvée reveals an expressive bouquet of red berry fruit, pear and brioche. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and ample yet refreshingly racy, with tangy acidity and a long, saline finish. Reflecting both the vineyard's terroir and Savart's distinctive style, this is a lovely cuvée—unfortunately, it is a one-time release."
