de Saint-Gall, Orpale Blanc de Blancs Vintage:2004 The ripe nose of red

The ripe nose of red and dark berry fruit is abundantly laced with earth and floral scents

Hint of ginger beer on the nose

A restrained and cool nose combines notes of green apple and pear with those of lemon rind and white flower that

not unctuous but offers very good intensity and snap

de Saint-Gall, Orpale Blanc de Blancs Vintage:2004 The ripe nose of redThis is a beautifully mature Champagne, with ripe Chardonnay from the Ctes de Blancs now just hinting at toastiness. The wine's freshness is still apparent so that the balance with maturity is just right. Drink this fine wine now, but also age. Roger Voss
