Domaine De Castelnau Garenne Viognier

The history of Domaine de Castelnau is a long one, going all the way back to the 13th century when the property was owned by the Seigneurs (Lords) de Guers. Today owned by Christophe and Beatrice Muret, the winery sits in the heart of the Picpoul de Pinet appellation between Béziers and Montpellier. It’s one of only 20 domaines in the area that are independently owned. Spread across 97 hectares, about 13 hectares of the estate's vineyards are dedicated to the cultivation of Picpoul. The winemaking regime is overseen by oenologist François Prinsloo, who blends modern techniques with traditional winemaking principles.
