The Domaine de Castelnau estate boasts a centuries-old history. Within these ancient walls, the modern winery produces aromatic and fruity wines. Today, Beatrice and Christophe Muret are at the helm. They harvest their grapes at full ripeness and produce fresh and supple wines. They own approximately 100 hectares near Pezenas. They are technically very skilled, and thanks to their sophisticated production method, known as lutte raisonée, they produce honest and concentrated wines. The wines from Domaine de Castelnau are often relatively fresher, leaner, and more elegant.
To preserve as much freshness as possible, the grapes are harvested at night. They are then destemmed and crushed in the winery. Fermentation then takes place in large, refrigerated stainless steel vats. Afterward, the wine is aged for another three months on its lees in wooden barrels to maximize the flavor and aroma. Furthermore, the wine develops a delicate oaky note during the aging process.
La Croix Blanc appears golden yellow in the glass. Immediately, we can enjoy a seductive aroma of mango, melon, oak, and vanilla. On the palate, it's a juicy and creamy white wine. Notes of passion fruit and pineapple are clearly evident. The finish is long and pleasant, with hints of basil and undergrowth. We recommend pairing this wine with fish dishes. This La Croix Blanc from Domaine Castelnau is also a delicious wine to enjoy on its own.
