Tasting Notes

CHAMPAGNE DE ST GALL Behind the De Saint Gall brand lies a history unique in the Champagne region. Twelve production units, united for almost 40 years under the banner “Union Champagne”, have contributed to its creation and success. Their trump card: an exceptional terroir in villages whose names are music to the ears of connoisseurs.

This precious heritage covers over a thousand hectares of Premiers and Grands Crus vineyards, all classified from 95 to 100% on the Champagne “echelle des crus” rating system. It includes almost half the famous Côte des Blancs area, where Chardonnay reigns supreme, and some of the prestigious Montagne de Reims terroirs. The De Saint Gall signature therefore quite naturally evokes the pure and elegant style of great champagnes

Cuvée Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2012 is exclusively elaborated from Chardonnay. Pale golden hue in colour it has an impressively persistent mousse. The nose is lively and aromatic with dry fruit notes and fresh baked brioche. The palate is richly complex and the finish long and crisp. Very enjoyable now or can develop further with aging.

This superb 2012 vintage is marvelous for the aperitif, or in accompaniment of fine meals such as a poultry in sauce.
