De Saint-Gall is the brand name of the cooperative Union Champagne, founded in 1966 by a set of Grand Cru and Premier Cru Champagne growers. With 650ha, they are the largest owner of Chardonnay vineyards in the prestigious Côte Des Blancs but they also own 400ha of Pinot Noir in the exceptional terroirs of Montagne De Reims. The De Saint Gall signature therefore quite naturally evokes the pure and elegant style of great champagnes.

Light straw-gold colour. Rich nose of bruised pears, honey and butter on toast. A full style, quite weighty with its rich golden fruits and toasty lees development all on show. Great length; there’s ample acidity to keep it driving while the fine mousse ensures both creaminess in texture along with refreshing lift to the dry finish. A complex delight to enjoy and will be equally at home with food as without. Date: Sept 2025; Alcohol: 12.5%; Price: $99.00; Rating: 95 Points; The Real Review

Mineral and tense with chalky, stony aromas, green apples and lemon peel with butter. Light-bodied, zesty and polished with fine and persistent mousse. Chalky again in the finish. Drink or hold. Rating: 93 Points; James Suckling
