castel
The Castel Group was founded in Bordeaux in 1949 by a family of 9 brothers and sisters. For over 60 years they have devoted their energy and skills to spreading the word about French wines throughout the world. Under the guiding hand of founding President Pierre Castel, the Group has become the largest wine producer in France and Europe. Castel is an internationally recognised name, backed up by a range of acclaimed brands and Châteaux with an established presence in over 130 countries.
Maison Castel is the group’s flagship wine brand, named in honour of the family. These collection of wines cover the full spectrum of flavours and the best of the classic French varietals to showcase the wealth and diversity of France’s terroirs and vineyards.
THE STORY
Maison Castel is a story of good instincts and a great idea which took hold back in Castel’s early days when the Castel brothers and sisters were ready to push back established boundaries. The family wanted to make accessible and quality wines, suited to every consumer profile in both France and abroad. The same principle lives on today in Maison Castel, a brand embodying the spirit of 'Made in France".
Maison Castel wines are the promise of elegant, pleasant and easy to choose wines, with varied and rich styles that everyone can share in a very French spirit. The label proudly displays the Castel coat of arms to symbolise the Houses’ total commitment to producing quality French wines.
SAVOIR-FAIRE
Maison Castel wines are produced to a particularly demanding set of specifications. Dedicated to reveal the specificity of a terroir, the typicity of a grape variety or the character of an AOC, allows you to discover the diversity of each region of France from Pays d'Oc, Bordeaux, South-West, Provence, the Rhone, Loire and Burgundy.
To embody this conviction, the spirit of French wine and the reputation of Castel’s expertise, Maison Castel relies on one major force; its technical team of experts and winemakers listening to international trends (below).
