Castelnau

Le Brut | Bottle 75cl

Description

Cuvée Le Brut perfectly embodies the style of Maison Castelnau. This mature champagne, aged for a minimum of 5 years on lees, reveals ample structure, aromatic complexity and refined elegance. Its balanced blend of 40% Chardonnay, 40% Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir gives it freshness, delicacy and depth.

How Champagne Le Brut is made

A Maison Castelnau signature, Le Brut is the fruit of precise expertise and infinite patience. Made from wines of the year and 30% reserve wines, it reflects the richness of Champagne's terroirs. The Chardonnay, which makes up the majority of the blend, brings mineral tension and aromatic amplitude, while the Pinots offer a fleshy texture and gourmandise.

Aged for a minimum of 5 years in our cellars, this champagne benefits from long ageing on its lees, enabling it to develop brioche aromas and remarkable depth. This slow evolution gives the wine a fine, silky bubble, a guarantee of great finesse.

With a dosage of 7 g/L, the cuvée strikes a perfect balance between freshness and generosity, revealing a personality that is both refined and expressive.
