The Champagne Bulle de Rosé by Frédéric Savart is a very special Champagne Rosé, Savart style, coming from the Premier Cru terroir in the village of Écueil. It is an assemblage of 65% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, as well as 5% Pinot Noir vinified as red. It rests partially in wooden barrels as well as steel tanks and has a low dosage (2 g/l). Inspiring Champagne.
Frédéric 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, playing as an attacking midfielder, 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. His philosophy in the vineyards is to prevent disease as much as possible, rather than treat it—towards this end, he prefers a holistic approach, creating an environment within which the plant is better equipped to resist malady on its own.
