Why You'll Love It
Generous and layered, Orpale shows how well mature Chardonnay can work with food. Candied lemon, toasted nuts and warm bread unfold over a fresh, mineral finish. This is a Champagne to give some room in the glass, ideally alongside roast chicken with mushrooms or a rich fish dish.
About The Producer
Champagne De Saint-Gall brings together the growers of Union Champagne, founded in 1966 around Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs is a particular strength. Individual cooperatives vinify their own grapes before the wines are assembled in Avize, combining detailed local knowledge with a broad choice of parcels. Orpale is the house’s prestige Blanc de Blancs, made only as a vintage Champagne.
Winemaking Information
The 2012 is 100% Chardonnay from the Grand Cru villages of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant in the Côte des Blancs. Part of the base wine avoids malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness, before traditional bottle fermentation and extended cellar ageing. Dosage is 5 g/L, giving a dry, Extra Brut style.
