DE ST GALL Grand Cru (1996) Orpale
100% Chardonnay
From Grand Cru sites in Avize, Oger & Mesnil sur Oger.
A rich, full creamy nose with mature chardonnay fruits throughout. Lovely structure, particularly the acidity - very elegant. Vanilla & toasted brioche on the palate - a slight green streak runs through the middle, but this gives it a lovely refreshing edge. A fine & full finish.
DE ST GALL 1er Cru (NV) Brut
66% Chardonnay / 33% Pinot Noir
Light, shortbread, biscuity notes on the nose. Citrus fruit, clean & crisp on the palate with light honey & floral blossom hints. A good crisp finish with a very slight hint of creamy richness on the end.
DE ST GALL 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs (NV) Blanc de Blancs
100% Chardonnay
Lovely exciting pineapple, grapefruity, citrus notes on the nose. Elegant, fine structure with a dainty lime palate & hints of apple crunch. Great length - really quite refined.
DE ST GALL ROSE (NV) Brut
50% Chardonnay / 33% Pinot Noir / 17% Pinot Noir red wine
Quite an orange onion skin rose colour. Floral, marmalade crushed fruit on the nose carried through on to palate. A bit of structure underneath - firm and serious style rather than a fruit bomb. A gentle sweet fruit touch to the finish - showing some crisp meatier pinot character.
