## About this wine

L'Accomplie is a Premier Cru Champagne produced by Daniel Savart Et Fils, now led by Frédéric Savart. The wine is primarily composed of Pinot Noir (around 80%) with 20% Chardonnay, sourced from the villages of Écueil and Villers-aux-Nœuds in the Montagne de Reims. As a Non-Vintage (NV) cuvée, it represents a blend of base vintages and reserve wines, showcasing the estate's commitment to precision and terroir expression. Frédéric Savart's philosophy centers on sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention, aiming to capture the unique character of his Premier Cru vineyards.

## Interesting facts

## Food pairing

The wine's high acidity and minerality cut through rich sauces and fatty textures, while its complexity complements delicate seafood and poultry. The Pinot Noir's structure can stand up to richer dishes, and the subtle oak notes harmonize with roasted flavors.

## Wine making process

L'Accomplie is crafted using grapes from Premier Cru vineyards in Écueil and Villers-aux-Nœuds. The base wines are fermented and aged in a combination of neutral oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. A significant portion of the blend consists of reserve wines from previous vintages, contributing to the wine's complexity and consistency. The wine undergoes aging on its fine lees before final blending. It is finished with a low dosage, classifying it as Extra Brut, and is bottled with minimal intervention to reflect the purity of the terroir.
