Plan a wine trip to Castellane — Femente builds the route.
Castellane produces Champagne from the chalky soils and cool climate of France's premier sparkling wine region. The house works with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as its core varieties, blending them into structured, age-worthy cuvées. The Cuvée Florens Brut, built from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, represents the house's approach to dry Champagne with precision and balance. A rosé expression of the same cuvée adds complexity through extended skin contact. The Cuvée Commodore Brut incorporates Pinot Blanc alongside the traditional varieties, offering another expression of the Champagne terroir. Wine Spectator has rated these releases, recognizing their technical merit within the region's demanding standards.
