The origins of the Castellane Champagne House go back to 1895. Castellane was established in Épernay by Vicomte de Flores de Castellane. The house is situated on the Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, a long avenue also home to other major names such as Moët & Chandon, Mercier, and Laurent-Perrier. The cellars stretch over nine kilometers, and all wines bear a distinctive label. It features a striking logo of the red St. Andrew's herb, made by Vicomte Flores de Castellane himself. St. Andrew was a patron saint, and Castellane chose the herb as an emblem and brand, paying tribute to the flax of the oldest regiment in the Champagne region.
The growing season is long, thanks in part to the cool nights and deep roots, ensuring the plants receive everything they need. This results in beautiful bunches that are harvested by hand in small crates. Once the grapes arrive at Champagne Castellane, they are inspected and selected again, resulting in exceptionally smooth juice. After 24 months of aging in the Castellane cellars, the bottles are prepared with liqueur and ready to be enjoyed. The Demi-sec is born, a beautiful interplay of sweetness and purity. A full aroma with soft notes of rose, peach, and cinnamon. The champagne tastes as exquisite as it smells, with a soft palate and sweet peach notes. An overall fresh character and a very fine mousse with an excellent price-quality ratio!
