This grape makes fine and understated wines with a surprising twist.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The 100 hectare vineyard of Chateau de Castelnau\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The wine is produced by the successful Domaine de Castelnau estate. They own approximately 100 hectares of vineyards in the Languedoc region. At the helm are Beatrice and Christophe Muret. They make honest and concentrated wines. Their goal is to operate sustainably and use state-of-the-art techniques to ensure the wines retain their purity and typicity. They are technically very strong, and thanks to their sophisticated production method, known as \"lutte raisonée,\" they produce honest and concentrated wines. Domaine de Castelnau's wines are often relatively fresher, leaner, and more elegant.\n\n\n \nOnly the best of the best is good enough. That's why the Picpoul grapes are meticulously selected. They are harvested at night, when the weather is still pleasantly cool. This allows the grapes to retain their freshness during their journey to the winery. Here, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. This is followed by temperature-controlled fermentation. Finally, the wine is aged on the fine lees and given the necessary rest.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A lively Picpoul de Pinet from Chateau de Castelnau\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The Picpoul de Pinet has a bright yellow color with an intense nose.
