De Saint Gall 1990 Cuvée Orpale Chardonnay (Champagne)

Editors' Choice

Mature, yet still quite lively, this less-familiar luxury bottling deserves more attention and is worth the hunt. The full apple, hay and earth bouquet is accented by dark, rich, almost meaty notes. It displays an even bead, lovely balance, and a full but not heavy mouthfeel with dried fruit flavors and caramel accents. An impressive bottling that closes long and dry, drinks well now, and has the stuff to last through the decade.
