Note di degustazione
The 2014 Extra Brut Premier Cru Le Mont Benoit was disgorged in February 2018 with three grams per liter dosage, and it is already showing very well—though it will need a bit more time before it truly attains its peak. Unfurling from the glass with aromas of red apples, marzipan, pear, dried white flowers and orange rind, it's full-bodied, broad and muscular, with an incisive spine of acidity, searing intensity and a deep core, concluding with an intensely saline, mineral finish. This is another brilliant wine from Frederic Savart.

The 2014 Le Mont Benoît is superb. The natural richness and depth of Pinot Noir from this site in Villers-aux-Noeuds gives the 2014 soft curves to match its voluptuous personality. Aging in cork, and the naturally finer bubbles that are the result, add to the wine’s textural finesse and nuance. Mirabelle plum, white flowers, mint and dried herbs, with veins of chalky minerality, are some of the signatures. Le Mont Benoît is 95% Chardonnay co-planted with 5% Pinot Noir, pressed together, aged on the cork, and bottled with 3 grams of dosage. All the best elements of the Savart house style come together in this stunning, riveting Champagne. Don’t miss it! Disgorged January 2018. Dosage is 3 grams per liter.
