  Pre-Labour Day drinks: Not blind. Austere and at the same time lacking focus and concentration, also a bit austere? Think Savart is overpriced now after tasting so many good growers in Champagne at more affordable prices.

  My first Savart from this lieux-dits... quite an interesting experience. This was quite round and strangely effusive with tropical fruit -- pineapple, melon, etc, and marzipan, but with a heaviness of pinot noir. I get the oxidative notes from other tasters, but to me this felt overripe, perhaps a tell from the vintage?

  Light orange color, almost rosé. Discrete nose, decent, but much less tension and aromas compared to the 2016 rendition.

  My 3rd or 4th Savart. The most accomplished after entry-level Ouverture which i found competent and not moving while the Accomplie was noteworthy. The hue is almost orange. Yeasty, pastry nose with the praline accents found on Egly Ouriets wines. Eminently pleasing and comforting. The palate reveals bruised apple, pears and lots of other very subtle things that give the wine a tea-like quality. There is a vein of mirabelle plum that carries to a nicely sweet and saline finish. Zero dosage requires lots of skill and perfectly ripe fruit but when those conditions are met the wines arguably provide a singular experience, more freshness and lift than still wines and less sugar than dosed Champagnes. I like this very much.

  Savart-a-thon (Cru and Domaine, Portland OR): This is complex and deep right away as it shows off a touch of matchstick at first that then peels back into pears, red apples, roasted nuts, berries, vanilla beans, daffodils, kumquat, mint, and some fresh herbs. This leans more into the oxidative side as the fruit shows some bruisting. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and with a lengthy finish that is supported by tart, high acidity. This is a killer Savart. If a more oxidative Champagne is what you crave, then look no further than right here!
