Orpale Blanc de Blancs 2008 Grand Cru
Orpale Blanc de Blancs 2008 is De Saint Gall's prestige cuvée. The name Orpale is deliberately ambitious and is used only in the best years. 2008 was a cool, fresh year, and cellar master Cédric Jacopin made a taut, straight Chardonnay from it. It comes exclusively from the grands crus of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant and Avize and aged for 12 years, with only a light dosage.
The wine shows great aromatic intensity, together with freshness, minerality and a clear line. On the palate, already developed notes join in. The ageing potential is considerable. It suits an aperitif just as well as scallop skewers or creamy chicken breast. Pour it at 10 to 12 °C in a wide white wine glass so that it can open up.
