Brut

The Brut from Castelnau relies on two dark varieties: 82% Pinot Noir and 18% Pinot Meunier. The house stresses how much the blend depends on the experience of the cellar master and his team. In the glass you find a wine that is lively and gentle at the same time on the palate.

The interplay of Pinot Noir and Meunier gives it structure and fruit without making it heavy. That makes it an easygoing brut for any time of day. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass or a tulip glass. It goes particularly well with cold canapés, such as mini skewers with fresh fruit, cherries or crystallised ginger, where its fruit picks up the flavours of the bites.
