Extended aging for a unique expression
Brut de Castelnau is made with patience and precision. Its blend combines:
- 40% Chardonnay – Brings freshness, tension and elegance.
- 40% Meunier – Adds fruity aromas and a delicious texture.
- 20% Pinot Noir – Adds structure and depth.
The grapes are selected for their ability to express beautiful maturity and intense aromatic richness. This cuvée is aged for at least five years in the cellar, a precious time that allows the aromas to blend harmoniously and the texture to achieve perfect smoothness.
The dosage of 7 g/L balances the cuvée, adding a touch of roundness without masking the purity of the wine.
