Savart LOuverture Brut 1er Cru NV (750ML)

93 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Disgorged in October 2018 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage, the latest rendition of Savart's NV Brut Premier Cru L'Ouverture is a blend of the 2014, 2015 and 2016 vintages, produced entirely from Pinot Noir, some 30% of which is purchased as grapes. Offering up a classy bouquet of minty yellow orchard fruit, white flowers, fresh peach and warm pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, fine-boned and elegant, with a pinpoint mousse, ripe but racy acids and a long finish. Pristinely balanced, its understated delicacy is typical both of the site and Savart's style." 08/19

93 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A blend of 2015, 2016 and 2017 vintages, fermented in barrels and rested for 6 months on gross lees. This is 80% cuvée and 20% taille. A super smooth rendition of pure pinot noir, this is supple and very vinous with red cherries and pink grapefruit, as well as a smooth and creamy texture. Turns crisp and carries plenty of red-fruit flavor in a fine, gently spicy finish. Drink now. Disgorged May 2018. 4g dosage." 09/19
