The Castelnau Vintage undergoes an unusually long period of lees ageing in the cellars, often of more than 10 years, and it is this that allows the expression of the very best years in champagne to shine through.

Comments of the Chef de Cave:

And this cuvée is a very pleasant revelation!

The depth of the Pinot Noir and the purity of the Chardonnay  grapes chosen combine to illustrate the surprising potential of a year of great natural ripeness and aromatic balance.

The depth of flavour in the mouth and the richness of the wine reveal a great champagne, underpinned by fine acidity yet with great concentration and refinement.

Food matching:

The Castelnau Vintage is ideal as an aperitif and yet the toasty, grilled notes will go just as well with a veal fillet served with girolles mushrooms.
