History
Clos des Orfeuilles is one of the jewels in the Castel Family Estates crown. The Family Estates are an expression of our expertise, our passion for terroir, and our commitment to sustainability. We have specialized in French wine since our establishment over 60 years ago. As both winemakers and wine merchants, Castel Châteaux & Grands Crus’ fine wine expertise has continually grown and evolved to the present day.
MUSCADET-SÈVRE-ET-MAINE
Established in 1936, Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine is one of the very first French appellations. Combining a terroir made up of ancient rocks and distinctive winemaking techniques based on maturation on fine lees, its wines find more than one way to be unique.
With its characteristic minerality and finesse, Clos des Orfeuilles embodies the richness of the region’s geology and the subtlety of its traditional winemaking techniques. While the wine’s contemporary profile is a reflection of a recent renaissance in the Muscadet, it is above all an homage to a remarkable appellation.
Returning to its roots in the vines and in the winery, the property has been certified Organic (AB) since the 2012 vintage.
