In keeping with the purpose of honoring the great minds throughout history; the Cévant Society names each years wine in honor of a Cévant. At the annual Blending Bash held each year in Napa/Sonoma; the Society members have a collegial debate and select the Cévant or Cévants to represent that years vintage.

*The winery was first named Savant Cellars. However, we learned early in 2012 that Justin Winery produces a red wine that is called SAVANT. The people at Justin Winery asked us to alter our name in order to avoid any confusion in the market place. Our winery adopted the same name but with a French accent which maintains our wish to honor the genius of wine and differentiates the two offerings for the market.
