Other Reviews....
The 2013 L’Année is 60% Pinot Noir from the lower slopes of Le Mont Benoît Villers-aux-Noeuds and 40% Chardonnay from Eceuil, pressed together. This is quite open for the vintage, most likely the result of relatively high maturity in the Chardonnay that reached 12% alcohol. Savart compensated for that to some degree by picking the Pinot less ripe, around 10.7%. Nevertheless, this is a decidedly soft, open-knit style. Dried apricot, chamomile, wild flowers, honey and tangerine peel are some of the many notes that fill out the wine’s frame. Disgorged January 2018.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous

This has an expressive array of grapefruit and orange notes, as well as an exuberant palate that’s packed with tart, super fleshy fruit flavor. Really explosive and energetic, Savant sees the sum as being greater then the parts. I have to agree! 40 per cent chardonnay from Ecuiel and 60 per cent pinot noir from Mont Benoit, pressed and fermented together. Drink or hold.
