the art of delicacy

L'Extra Brut

The sculpted work of Nature.

The glorious simplicity and finesse of pure, unadulterated champagne. The sculpted clarity of Chardonnay and exquisitely rounded Meunier are in perfect balance, underpinned by low dosage. Ageing imparts delicate depth to this feather-light blend, allowing the tastebuds to savour the delicious satisfaction of toasted notes, dried fruits and the lively caress of preserved lemon.

Reserve wines: around 30%.

Lengthy lees-ageing

Virtually languishing in obscurity for at least five years, the bottles will protect a precious secret. During this time, while resting on the lees, the wines will experience the alliance of chemistry and magic that enthralls palates the world over.

The wines will take in decades of history written on the chalk walls; to assimilate the very spirit and soul of all the ‘shapers’ behind Champagne Castelnau.

Lengthy lees-ageing provides a cocoon of sernity and plenitude to Castelnau champagnes. For those who taste their splendour, their patience is rewarded as the champagne’s full personality is released.

Harmony

Simply perfection with oysters.

Daring

With slithers of Iberico ham, think Pata Negra Bellota.
