Lovely intense ruby red hue with lovely bright highlights.

The nose is powerful and expresses notes of peppermint and ripe red fruit. The wine is fresh and velvety on entry and followed by a lovely roundness on the palate, thanks to the perfectly soft tannins.

 

 

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 

Clay-limestone and calcareous marl soils planted with old vines from the southern Rhône Valley.

 

Winemaking

A plot selection is carried out in the vineyards to select the finest grapes. The vinification is traditional with a two-week maceration. Part of the harvest will undergo a hot pre-fermentation maceration. Extraction is carried out gently throughout the controlled fermentation at below 28°C lending this wine its typical smoothness and varietal aromas.
