"Another source of Champagne new to the United States
is
a cooperative of 1 800 growers called Union Champagne, most of
its exports
designated as de Saint Gall. It’s
an impressive lineup
: three out of the five wines I tasted broke the 90-point barrier.
All three were Blanc de Blancs, made solely from Chardonnay grapes,
and the best was
an absolutely stunning Cuvée Orpale 1985
(95, $49)
made strictly from grand cru vineyards. Union Champagne
will be hard to find, because the brand is just
getting established
here."
"Union Champagne Top Score :
Brut Blanc de Blancs
Champagne Cuvée Orpale 1985 : 95 points
