Count Florens de Castellane founded the Champagne brand de Castellane in 1895 in the picturesque town of Epernay. This family is now one of the oldest in France. The famous Saint Andrew's Cross is depicted on every label. In the center of Epernay stands the Champagne de Castellane Tower, the symbol of the town. Built in 1904, it is the work of Auguste Marius Tourdoire, the architect who also designed the Gare de Lyon in Paris. Today, the tower houses part of the Champagne Museum. Everything is dedicated to the high quality of Champagnes. The vineyards are meticulously cared for to produce the ripest and highest-quality grapes.
All grapes are harvested by hand and transported to Castellane in small crates, where they are meticulously inspected once again. Only the finest juice is good enough for this Champagne. The juice undergoes two fermentations to develop the perfect bubbles. This method also creates unique aromas in the bottle. It then matures in the bottle with yeast for at least 30 months in the cellars, during which time it develops its bubbles and maturity. The bottles are then left to rest for another three months before release. Castellane Brut Rosé has a fruity and floral aroma with delicate aromas of berries and strawberries. The palate is complex, round, and fresh, combined with delicious aromas of stewed and wild strawberries. A very charming and full finish.
