De Saint Gall 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs 1973 - Preserved Finesse

This 1973 bottle is an extremely rare opportunity to celebrate a 53rd anniversary. Its impeccable visual presentation makes it one of the finest gifts of this decade.

The 1973 Vintage: The Harmony of Chardonnay

If 1971 was the year of power, 1973 was the year of elegance and balance. In Champagne, this vintage produced wines of great distinction, particularly in the Côte des Blancs. The Chardonnay there expresses an aromatic finesse that, after five decades, has transformed into a silky complexity. It is a vintage that captivates with its precision and exceptional drinkability.

From St. Gallen: The Union of the Best Terroirs

The De Saint Gall estate, located in Avize, draws its strength from an exceptional vineyard, the vast majority of which is classified as Grand Cru and Premier Cru. This 1973 vintage benefits from the expertise of an era when winemakers knew how to wait for their wines to mature. Presented in its historic 77cl format, this bottle is a privileged testament to meticulous viticulture dedicated to longevity.

A truly exceptional state of preservation

It is extremely rare to find bottles from the 1970s with a label in such good condition. Stored in the darkness of a natural cellar in Épernay, this bottle has suffered no major visual deterioration. The fill level is perfect (below the capsule), the color is vibrant, and the capsule is intact. This is a "gift-ready" bottle that will delight even the most discerning collectors.

WUAT's Opinion: The Perfect Gift Bottle

At WUAT, we particularly appreciate bottles that tell a story while presenting an impeccable visual appeal. This 1973 De Saint Gall is the ideal piece to mark a major event. Its quality-price-presentation ratio is unbeatable for a vintage over 50 years old.

Service Tips

To fully appreciate this nectar, we recommend serving it between 7°C and 8°C. Use a tulip-shaped wine glass. The wine benefits from being enjoyed slowly, allowing it to warm slightly in the glass to fully release its aromatic complexity. It will pair beautifully with truffle risotto or delicate, high-quality fish.
