History
Élégance is the story of a vision that inspired the creation of the Joseph Castan wine company in 2007. The first range to be created, it embodies the DNA of our expertise in bringing out the essence and depth of each grape variety in a modern, refined interpretation. It reflects our meticulous craftsmanship, where every detail is carefully considered to create a timeless and harmonious drinking experience.
Terroir
Two terroirs have been brought together to create the complexity of this Chardonnay Elégance. The clay-sand soils provide delicacy and finesse. The clay-limestone terroir lends the wine power and volume. The vines are planted on stony terraces sitting on limestone and clay-limestone hillsides and semi-hillsides.
Winemaking
A plot selection is carried out in the vineyards to select the finest grapes. After pressing under inert gas, the must undergoes a cold fermentation with selected yeasts to bring out the aromatic delicacy. A light ageing in oak barrels is carried out to lend the wine volume and complexity.
