Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 2015

The 2015 vintage from De Saint Gall is a pure Chardonnay from grand cru sites and is regarded as the quintessence of the house. It reflects the great terroirs of the Côte des Blancs. In the glass it shows a very pale gold and a delicate mousse. The nose is complex and marked by dried fruit. On the palate it seems opulent and fresh at the same time, with a long finish. The vintage is also considered good for ageing and should continue to develop over the coming years.

As an aperitif it makes a strong opening, and at the table it is at its best with poultry in cream sauce and with mature Comté. Serve it slightly warmer than a young brut, at 10 to 12 degrees, in a large white wine glass. That way the aromas unfold fully and the structure comes into its own.
