Quadrilogie Influences

De Saint Gall's "Influences" quadrilogy places four terroirs side by side. All four cuvées carry a low dosage, so that the personality of each origin is preserved. Le Minéral is a pure Chardonnay, 52 per cent of it from Cramant, and suits oysters. Le Généreux, also Chardonnay, comes from premier cru sites, mainly Vertus, and wins you over with its roundness.

Le Charpenté combines 81 per cent Pinot Noir and 19 per cent Chardonnay, with 56 per cent from Ambonnay. It has a distinct style and goes well with foie gras. L'Expressif is a Chardonnay from grand cru sites, mainly Oger (47 per cent) and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (33 per cent), balanced between character and power. Serve the range at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass.
