Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru

The Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru is the iconic cuvée of De Saint Gall and a non-vintage brut as it should be: lively, sparkling and fine at the same time. It is 100% Chardonnay. On the nose there are lime blossom and white flowers, and on the palate it is fresh, floral and mineral. The aromatic freshness is clearly in the foreground without the wine turning lean. Richness and finesse are in balance.

As an aperitif it is a dependable choice. At the table it goes with oily fish such as salmon or mackerel and with goat's cheese, whose acidity and creaminess it picks up elegantly. Serve it at 8 to 10 degrees in a tulip glass or a wide white wine glass. That is where the floral notes and the mineral tension come across best.
