The Grand Cru Orpale Blanc De Blancs Millesime' in Magnum format, presented in an elegant case, represents an expression of refinement and prestige offered by the renowned Champagne De Saint Gall winery. This Champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes selected from Grand Cru classified vineyards, thus ensuring a superior level of quality.

The Orpale cuvée is an expression of the unique terroir of the Champagne region. The winemaking process follows traditional methods, with particular attention to purity and finesse. After careful selection, the grapes undergo gentle pressing, followed by fermentation under controlled conditions to preserve the characteristic aromatic profile of the grape. The long maturation on the lees allows this Champagne to develop complexity and an elegant structure.

On the nose, the Grand Cru Orpale Blanc De Blancs Millesime' offers a sophisticated bouquet with notes of ripe citrus, white flowers, and mineral nuances, harmoniously blending with light touches of brioche and vanilla, resulting from bottle aging. On the palate, it stands out for its lively freshness and the creaminess of the bubbles, balanced by notable minerality and a long, persistent finish.

This Magnum Champagne is ideal for special occasions, capable of adding a touch of luxury to any celebration. It is recommended to serve it well-chilled, between 8-10°C, and it can excel both as an aperitif and paired with delicate dishes such as raw seafood, fish carpaccio, or poultry dishes with light sauces.

The case, besides protecting the precious bottle, makes it a perfect gift for Champagne enthusiasts or for those wishing to discover a sublime expression of Blanc de Blancs.
