About the wine:

Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru is defined by this Chardonnay, which oscillates between the freshness of the base wine and the reserve wines, which reach 40%. Its fresh nose of white fruit is overtaken by hints of dried fruit and toast. The dosage coats the midpalate.

About the domain :

De Saint-Gall is a cooperative winery belonging to L'Union Champagne. Founded in 1966, it has over 200 members and a large vineyard of 1,400 hectares, 90% of which are Premier and Grand Cru - 500 hectares are Grand Cru Chardonnay. The cellar also supports winegrowers in their viticultural activities. Cédric Jacoutin, the cellar master who arrived in 2000, acquired a wooden foudre cuvier in 2012 for reserve wines. His cellar, located in Avize, displays his passion for great Chardonnays. The Blanc de Blancs are marked by their fine toasty reduction and creamy mousse. Cuvée Orpale, the cellar's flagship, is a pure Chardonnay from four Côte des Blancs grands crus: Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant, Avize and Oger. Malolactic fermentation is partial, and disgorgement lasts more than ten years. The 2008 was disgorged in 2020.
