THE PRODUCER
Known as one of the best sources of consistent Chardonnay-based wines, in
Champagne, the De Saint Gall is made up of more than 2,000 workers, wine growers
and winemakers from 15 cooperatives all sharing the same goal, to make great,
sound, and reliable champagnes, respecting tradition but also exploring new
techniques where relevant. Grapes are sourced from premier and grand cru
vineyards in the three main regions of the Champagne region, Vallee de la Marne,
Montagne de Reims, and Cote de Blancs. The De Saint Gall style is always pure
and elegant, with pronounced minerality, freshness and intensity.

THE WINE
De Saint Gall’s Blanc de Blancs is made entirely from the Chardonnay grape,
sourced from premier and grand cru villages in the Cote de Blancs.  It is a
delicate and minerally fresh wine with white flowers and crisp lemon aromas,
accentuated by juicy green orchard fruit notes. Production is entirely in
neutral vessels, which preserves the fruit driven and lively profile.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
