De Saint-Gall Orpale Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru represents the pinnacle of this house’s expertise, reflecting the pure elegance and complexity of Chardonnay grapes from the prestigious Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs region. This champagne is made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes, carefully selected from renowned Grand Cru villages such as Avize, Cramant, Oger, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
A portion of the wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, helping to preserve the freshness and minerality characteristic of the finest Côte des Blancs terroirs. Following secondary fermentation in the bottle, Orpale matures on lees for an impressive 12 years, resulting in exceptional complexity and depth of flavor.
It achieves a perfect balance between freshness and richness, with fine bubbles and a long-lasting finish that leaves a distinct mineral trace. Orpale is ideal as an aperitif for special occasions, but it also pairs beautifully with dishes such as chicken with truffles and mushrooms or veal roast with chanterelle mushrooms.
De Saint-Gall Orpale Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Millésimé is a champagne that brings together tradition, expertise, and the very best that terroir has to offer, delivering an unforgettable experience to every fine sparkling wine enthusiast.
