The 2020 Extra-Brut Les Noues 100% Pinot Noir is fabulous. Rich and exotic the 2020 offers striking Pinot intensity in all of its myriad dimensions. Kirsch wild flowers spice mint and jasmine lend gorgeous inner perfume. The 2020 is deep and layered yet also remains light on its feet. It?s a captivating wine from Fred Savart. Savart is one of the great success stories in Champagne over the last decade or so. That?s no longer news. What I admire most though is Fred Savart?s relentless quest to elevate quality and his curiosity in exploring new approaches such as the use of glass Wineglobes for some of his wines. This is not the easiest range to understand as that experimentation also leads to cases where the 750ml and 1.5L versions of the same wine undergo completely different approaches in the cellar with regards to vinification/aging vessels and closures something readers should note. The top wines here have been gorgeous for some time but the entry-level offerings have recently moved up a notch. - By Antonio Galloni on March 2024
