De Saint Gall Blanc de Blanc 1er Cru Brut 75cl

Tasting Note

"A true delight, this emblematic varietal Champagne is wonderfully aromatic. With a lovely pale hue and a nose of white flowers and linden, it is delicate, mineral and superbly fresh on the palate." Decanter World Wine Awards 91pts Silver Award

Producer

Representing over 2500 grape growers, De Saint-Gall is the brand created by Union Champagne. With exclusively 1er and Grand Cru vineyards, Union Champagne makes base wines and finished Champagnes for some of the biggest names in Champagne. 

They have a wonderful redistribution of profits system, that really benefits the growers. As 70% of their business is making wines for big companies, all of the profits made from this part of the business goes to the growers. Then the remaining 30% of the business, is making De Saint-Gall and also wines for the growers. The profits from this part of the business are split 80:20 with 80% going to the growers and just twenty percent remaining at the Union.

Earning money from the 'rich' and redistributing to the 'poor'? Does this make them the Robin Hood of Champagne?
