Chap. II

Gigondas

Unique artisan wines from outstanding vineyards, made in limited quantities

The foundation have been laid with this elegant, expressive wine in which I wanted to express the finesse and beauty of its terroir. It has great potential to go further. Each of these stories starts with the singularity of an exceptional terroir and the choice of dedicated winemakers. Day by day, working hand in hand with his partners, Cédric Jenin, Responsible Winemaker at MAISON CASTEL, deploys all his savoir - faire to select, vinify, age and form each of his vintages.

Chap.II - the elegance of lace

For the second chapter of its new collection, Maison Castel combines customary savoir-faire with a certain daring, stepping away from its traditionally-favoured soils to create a Rhône valley wine.
