This exclusive cuvée, presented in an elegant box that enhances its prestige, is the result of a meticulous selection of the best grapes and prolonged refinement, which together give this champagne unique characteristics of complexity, elegance and depth.

Visually, it presents itself with an intense golden yellow color, a sign of maturity and quality, illuminated by a very fine and persistent perlage which testifies to the excellence of its workmanship. On the nose, the bouquet is extraordinarily rich and complex, with an aromatic range that ranges from notes of ripe fruit and citrus to nuances of brioche, honey, dried fruit and floral touches, enriched by a delicate mineral vein.

On the palate, this champagne of exceptional category is structured and harmonious, with a perfect balance between power and elegance. The acidity is vibrant but well integrated, supporting a dense and creamy flavor texture, where fruit flavors, toasted notes and minerality intertwine in a long and unforgettable finish, a sign of absolute refinement.

Ideal for celebrating unforgettable moments or as a prestigious gift, the Champagne Hors Catégorie "Boxed" by Champagne Castelnau is perfect in combination with equally refined dishes, such as caviar, foie gras, lobster or simply to be enjoyed in purity, letting it be the protagonist absolute of the tasting experience.
