Description

Elegant and luminous, Champagne Castelnau's Cuvée Solera 9.2 is a bold tribute to time. From a perpetual reserve initiated in 2009, this singular cuvée embodies the House of Castelnau's interpretation of aging. Presented here in a bottle with case, it seduces with its depth, freshness and complexity, revealed after more than a decade of maturation in vats.

The making of Champagne Castelnau Solera 9.2

Cuvée Solera 9.2 is made entirely from reserve wines, the fruit of a patient and meticulous process of perpetual reserve initiated in 2009. Each year, a portion of the reserve is removed for bottling, and renewed with the year's wines to preserve the balance and aromatic richness of the basic base. This 9.2 edition is based on the 2009, 2015 and 2017 vintages.

Before bottling, the wines are left to rest for 10 years in vats, then aged for 3 years in cellars on their lees, in accordance with the house signature. The dosage is maintained at 5 g/L, reinforcing the purity of expression while preserving a beautiful roundness.

A refined, timeless blend

• 50% Chardonnay - Brings brightness, tension and minerality to the cuvée.
• 35% Pinot Meunier - Offers fruity aromas and a silky texture.
• 15% Pinot Noir - Provides structure and aromatic depth.

This subtle blend produces a cuvée that is both rich and elegant, with delicate aromas and harmonious structure, the signature of the Castelnau style.
