Quality wine from Domaine de Castelnau

The Domaine de Castelnau estate boasts a centuries-old history. Within these ancient walls, the modern winery produces aromatic and fruity wines. Today, Beatrice and Christophe Muret are at the helm. They harvest their grapes at full ripeness and produce fresh and supple wines. They own approximately 100 hectares near Pezenas. They are technically very skilled, and thanks to their sophisticated production method, known as lutte raisonée, they produce honest and concentrated wines. The wines from Domaine de Castelnau are often relatively fresher, leaner, and more elegant. The vineyards enjoy a favorable climate, with daytime heat balanced by cool nights. This allows the grapes to ripen evenly. The Viognier grapes are harvested during the cool night. This way, the grapes retain their freshness until they arrive at the winery. In the cellar, the grapes are immediately crushed and gently pressed. Cold fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Finally, the wine is aged for another six months in oak barriques. This results in a beautiful character that can be enjoyed immediately.
