Orpale opens with an intense bouquet of citrus zest, golden apple, cream, peach and brioche. It is the most distinguished wine of Champagne De Saint Gall’s entire range and is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Champagne, full stop. It is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, some of which do not go through malolactic fermentation, preserving the magnificent freshness of the Côte des Blancs.
Champagne De Saint Gall can be located in the heart of the region, in the green fields surrounding the commune of Avize. Its wines are crafted in cellars belonging to Union Champagne – a large Champagne “cooperative of cooperatives”, composed of 15 other winemaking collectives. The two entities have worked together for over 50 years, ensuring that Champagne continues to live up to its name.RRP £80.71 from 8Wines
