Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019
(around 80 euros per bottle)
Mythical
champagne
Elegant
bottle, emblematic of the brand.
Aspect:
Gold,
crystal-clear.
Fine
and dynamic bubbles.
Persistent
corolla of bubbles.
Nose:
Sensual
and touching aromatic display.
The
radiant fullness of the champagne intoxicates us with its scents of honey,
pastries and cocoa, generous characteristic signs of 12 years of patient ageing
of the bottles before riddling and disgorgement, with autolysis of the prise de mousse yeasts.
Later,
the aromas of white fruits, jammy citrus fruits and quince gently mingle to
offer a vertiginous hymn to the elegance of the Chardonnay, exclusive varietal
of the cuvée.
Palate:
Splendid
purity, reinforced by the perfect control of the malolactic fermentation
blocked for a part of the base wines, enhanced by the bright minerality, the
one from the chalk of the Grands Crus terroirs
of the Côte des Blancs (Cramant, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger).
The
tension slowly gives way to a sensual delicacy, supported by an enveloping
warmth and underlined by the creamy effervescence.
Deliciously
acidulous finish.
Endless
length on the palate.
With this cuvée
Orpale 2004 Grand Cru, Cédric Jacopin, œnology and quality director of the
Champagne house de Saint Gall, signs a great champagne, remarkable
interpretation of the Chardonnay in its best terroirs.
To
taste from aperitif to gastronomic meals, with a goat cheese and basil puff
pastry, for example.
Gathered
around the most prestigious terroirs
of Champagne classified as Premiers and Grands Crus, between Côte des Blancs,
Mountain of Reims and Marne Valley, 1,200 wine growers from the Union Champagne
united within 13 cooperatives have been perpetuating with passion the endless
quest for excellence, started in 1966. A vinification perfectly controlled by
the team of œnologists in modern facilities, in Avize, gives birth each year to
around 2 million bottles of champagnes, variations inspired around noble champenois terroirs, marketed under the brand de Saint Gall.
