Elégance Cabernet Sauvignon

Description

Vianney Castan wasn’t born in the vineyards, nor did he inherit a winery. Yet, he has winemaking in his blood. His great-grandfather Joseph Castan founded a modest winery in 1907 and went on to produce award-winning wines in the southern French region of Languedoc. Until misfortune hit: in 1956, France was hit by an extreme cold snap that completely wiped out the vineyards – an event the winery never recovered from. Fast forward to 100 years later. Inspired by the stories of his grandfather and father, Vianney Castan and his wife Emilie decided to pick up where Joseph left off. Naming the company after his great-grandfather, Vianney set out to produce great wine from lesser-known appellations in southern France. The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon are grown on clay-limestone soils in the heart of the Languedoc. The wine is smooth and balanced, quite easygoing we’d say. Serve at 18 ºC and enjoy between now and 2026.

Pairing

Match with anything from rosemary-crusted rack of lamb to a grilled pork tenderloin, or enjoy on its own in front of a cosy fire!
