Precise quality management
Internationally famous, Chardonnay is a white grape that expresses itself in a distinctive manner in the Pays d'Oc region. This wine comes from selected parcels from our various partners in the area, all of which are Terra Vitis-certified. The Mediterranean climate and wide diversity of soil types help this wine reveal its bold character and rich, complex aromatic structure: • Aude and the Thau lagoon area: richness and volume • North of Béziers area: structure and freshness
Maison Castel know-how
The Maison Castel team closely monitors vinification following strict specifications. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration on skins give this wine its varietal character. It is then aged with staves (one of the best ways to impart an oaked profile) for six to eight months to bring out the grape's aromatic expression. Lees stirring gives this Chardonnay structure, good balance and length.
