CHAMPAGNE CASTELNAU BRUT NV

As the price of the 'name' Champagnes continues to soar, Castelnau Brut offers the quality, style and value to make it a very compelling offering.

Champagne de Castelnau was founded in 1916 and got its name in honour of General Castelnau. It belonged to a family from Epernay for many years, and in the 1930s it was a favourite of many royal families and the rich and beautiful as well as the French Army. In 2003 it was purchased by the Coopérative Regional des Vins de Champagne headquartered in Reims who have access to 900 hectares of vineyards across 155 crus. Castelnau’s long established reputation for its top quality range and extensive lees aging positions it as the company’s leading quality label.

Winery notes (NV)
"To taste this Brut champagne is to appreciate refined bright Chardonnay character, around a core of ripe yellow-stone fruits, and the fleshy full-flavour of Pinot Noir. A blend of wines from the current harvest and 30% reserve wines, with its toasty notes, the champagne plays on depth and generosity.

Aged for a minimum five years in the cellars, this champagne is the legacy of decades of skill and passion. It celebrates the rich diversity of terroirs, from which Chardonnay, the majority grape in the blend, is sourced, to impart its full freshness, depth of flavour and length."
