De Saint Gall Orpale Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Zero Dosage 2002

The grapes are sourced from the renowned chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs, known for their extraordinary ability to impart a distinct minerality and freshness to the wines. These soils retain moisture and ensure even ripening of the grapes, contributing to the complexity and depth of the wine.

In the glass, the De Saint Gall Orpale Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Zero Dosage 2002 displays a bright, golden color with fine, lively bubbles. On the palate, it is dry and precise, with dominant citrus and apple notes supported by crystalline minerality and well-integrated acidity. The finish is long and complex, marked by a hint of toasted almonds and a pronounced saline note, typical of zero dosage Champagnes.

The Chardonnay grapes for this exceptional Champagne come from the finest Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, particularly from the villages of Cramant, Avize, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. These locations are renowned for their excellent growing conditions, imparting exceptional quality to the grapes.
