Champagne de Saint Gall Cuvée ORPALE 1996 Grand Cru
Deliberately elitist, the “Orpale” signature is only attached to the finest vintages. Following the remarkable 1995 vintage,
the 1996 is yet again outstanding – a gorgeous vintage, along the lines of 1988 and 1980.
On the nose, it displays the delicate aromas of white flowers typical of Orpale in its youth. The palate is fresh and lively on first taste and evolves to express fullness, complexity and generosity. Its aerial, balanced character makes this a cuvée with great class.
