Frederic Savart "Les Gillis" Ecueil Premier Cru Vieilles Vignes 2018 AOC 1,5l

Frederic Savart Les Gillis Ecueil Premier Cru Vieilles Vignes 2018 AOC 1.5l is a Champagne that speaks of terroir, patience, and careful management of the vineyards overlooking Ecueil, a Premier Cru village in the Montagne de Reims, where old vines produce grapes with balanced ripeness and a mineral flavor that emerges from the first sip. The history of the Frederic Savart house is one of artisanal sensibility that has chosen to position itself outside of market trends and trends, basing its identity on select vineyards, gentle agronomic practices, and a slow integration between wine and nature, in a spirit of longevity, precision, and aesthetic coherence. Its production philosophy is, above all, a work philosophy that aims to rediscover the purity of the fruit without forcing it, allowing time to act on the yeasts and oxygen, while controlling the dosage and temperature in the cellar to preserve the acidic tension and freshness that define the personality of Les Gillis. Distinctive elements include the influence of old vines in a limestone terroir, an aging process that harmonizes fruit, cream, and minerality, and the ability to express the complexity of a wine capable of being both celebratory and meditative. Stylistic and sensorial characteristics open with a sparkling cleanness of citrus aromas, a texture of fine yeasts, a pronounced minerality, and a savory character that accompanies a full palate, with an elegant mousse and a long finish that leaves traces of toasted almonds and citrus. The wine's role in the producer's portfolio is to carry the Vieilles Vignes signature within a proposal that combines refreshing youth and aging potential, offering a bottle capable of accompanying aperitifs, structured fish dishes, or aged cheeses and inspiring a superior tasting experience. A final sentence consistent with STELT's positioning: STELT interprets this choice as the essence of an authentic approach to terroir, an invitation to slow down and discover the purity of a Champagne that stands the test of time.
