Tasting Notes

Pale gold in colour, De Castellane's Brut 'Croix Rouge' exhibits fine and generous bubbles. The bouquet, which contains fragrances of white flowers, fresh fruit comptote and brioche, gives the wine elegance and finesse. On the palate, the aromas evoke hints of vanilla, white-fleshed fruits and gingerbread.

Vinification Details.

The wine has been matured for 24 months in a cellar at the contant temperature of 12 degrees celsius. After the riddling process, a dosage of equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is added.

Producer Information

Champagne De Castellane is the newest addition to our Champagne portfolio! We are now sole distributors of this historic brand throughout the UK with 100% exclusivity. The red cross of Saint Andre is symbolic of over a century of history and family tradition, the house was established in 1895 by Vicompte Florens de Castellane. It is today owned by Champagne Laurent Perrier and although fully integrated in its commercial strategy, De Castellane retains its traditional image and exists as a separate brand.

Based in the centre of Epernay, the impressive 'Belle Epoque' listed headquarters of Champagne de Castellane were built around 1890, and designed by architect Auguste Toudoire; famous for grand railway stations such as the Gare de Lyon in Paris. The buildings are topped by a striking 66m high tower; a landmark in Epernay and an emblem for the region, and there are 6km of cellars underground! The Laurent Perrier Group has long term contracts with vine growers to guarantee consistency and quality, the style is extremely accessible for all bubble lovers...you will not be disappointed!
