Castelnau Champagne Extra Brut
France / Champagne / Reims
The Sculpted Work of Nature:
Purity is the essence of this deep yet delicately ethereal cuvée.
Non-vintage Champagne: Castelnau Extra Brut. A contrast of toasted characters, dried fruit and zesty candied lemons whets the appetite before giving way to an elegant and light finish.
International Wine Challenge Award tasting note/silver medalist: "Creamy baked apple pie and honey on the nose with a gorgeously mature and rich palate that goes on forever".
The ultimate balance between the chiselled freshness of the Chardonnay and the exquisite smoothness of the Meunier. Its low dosage underlines the remarkable finesse of the blend whilst 6 years cellar ageing enhances its delicate, full character.
Blend:
40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir.
Vinification:
Minimum 6 years cellar ageing.
Reserve wines:
Around 30%.
"The soul of a vintage in the body of an Extra-Brut", Cellar Master Elisabeth Sarcelet.
