Product notes
Emblem of the house, Le Brut represents the long aging which defines the style of Champagne Castelnau.
Production notes
Aged for a minimum of 5 years in cellars, this champagne is the legacy of decades of know-how and passion, the perfect representation of Castelnau’s style of long ageing on lees. Le Brut blend celebrates the rich diversity of terroirs that impart their liveliness, depth of aromas and length. A blend of wines from the harvest and 30% of reserve wines. With its toasty notes, the champagne plays on depth and generosity. Dosage : 7g/l
Tasting notes
To taste Le Brut, is to appreciate the refined bright Chardonnay character, around a core of ripe yellow-stone fruits aromas, and the fleshy full-flavour of the Meunier and of Pinot Noir. Perfect served with finger food, with a salmon tataki, or grilled scallops. Also, with a delicately seasoned seafood and shellfish platter.
