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
Originally from the South-West of France, Malbec is known under different names including Auxerrois and Côt. It is thought to be the result of a cross between the Magdeleine des Charentes and the Prunelard Noir. Malbec is a powerful and fruity grape variety. Full of spirit and character, it creates a masculine red wine with a Latin spirit. Our Malbec is grown on the clay-limestone hillsides to the west of the Languedoc region, on terroirs that are particularly conducive to the perfect ripening of the grapes.
Winemaking
The vinification is traditional with a two-week maceration. The extraction is carried out gently throughout the fermentation process at a temperature of below 28°C, giving this wine its typical suppleness and varietal aromas.
