Joseph Castan Elegance Sauvignon

The soils this wine stems from are composed of clay and milestone, mixed with the tawny sand typical of the Gascogne region. A 12-hour cold maceration with the grape skin is performed in order to extract the “aromatic precursors”. Before sending the grapes in a pneumatic pressing machine, they are drained statically in order to select the different sorts of juice. Fermentation occurs at 15°C with specific yeasts. Fine sediments are reintroduced after the fermentation process so as to enhance the aroma.

This shiny, light yellow wine, with green reflections, has a smart and fruity nose which reveals different kinds of vegetal flavours, such as box tree or blackcurrant buds, but also fruity citrus hints. Bright and exceedingly fresh, Elégance Sauvignon strikingly embraces the palate with its complex fruity aromas, which are fully perceived by one’s sense of smell and enhanced when aerated. The persistence is refined, and frees all the citrus and box flavours.
