This 2006 vintage from Maison de Castellane is no exception. After two decades of aging in the cellars, it now offers a complexity that only time can sculpt, while remaining one of the most attractive value-for-money Champagnes on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e The 2006 Vintage: Sunny and Gourmet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The 2006 vintage is celebrated for the richness and breadth of its wines. Less crisp than other, cooler years, it favors roundness and immediate enjoyment. For this Vintage Brut, the balanced blend of Chardonnay (for finesse) and Pinot Noir (for structure) has allowed it to age with superb elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e Tasting Profile: A Wine for Meditation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e A deep gold with amber highlights, a sign of a beautiful, noble evolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and expressive, with notes of stewed yellow fruits (mirabelle plum, apricot), toasted hazelnut and a hint of blond tobacco.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A full-bodied and enveloping attack.

This 2006 is a real find: it offers access to the world of \"old Champagnes\" (those with aromas of brioche and comfort) without the prohibitive prices of the grand prestige cuvées. Ideal to accompany white meat in sauce or simply to celebrate a 20th anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Castellane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52796010463571,"sku":"CDC2006BM","price":56.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/9686\/6131\/files\/Champagne_De_Castellane_2006_Brut_Millesime_75cl_2_aee2f833-d20f-45ed-98cc-38f3b041bd1a.jpg?v=1768498891","url":"https:\/\/www.wineuponatime.com\/en\/products\/champagne-de-castellane-brut-millesime-2006","provider":"Wine Upon A Time","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
