Serving features

When tasting “Chavron” wines it is recommended to follow the classical rules of serving. Red wines are pre-cooled to 16-18, white to 8-12, sparkling to 6-8 degrees. This temperature control helps to bring out the flavors and aromas of the drinks. Wines are poured into classic glasses, made of thin colorless glass, which will help you appreciate the variety of shades. The advantage is in flute glasses with a high stem.

As a gastronomic accompaniment it is better to give preference to fruit, salads, seafood. Fatty dishes are the worst choice as an appetizer for Bordeaux wines. The Chavron lineup is perfect for experimentation in the field of mixology. The brand’s red wines would make a good base for a Red Sauer with Scotch whisky, a Negroni with Drambuie, Port and bitter. On the basis of white wine you can make “Milano Spritzer” with soda and red bitter, “White Gluhwein” with grapefruit, honey and vanilla. These drinks are easily the centerpiece of a vibrant party.

A little history

The Castel Group was founded in 1949 and specialized in the beverage trade. Gradually the company began to actively engage in winemaking. Vineyards with the total area of more than 3 thousand hectares were purchased all over the country. By the end of the twentieth century, it had become the largest family-owned wine-making company in France. Only 2% of all vineyards are concentrated in the province of Bordeaux. They are scattered in different châteaux, thanks to which it was possible to present to buyers all the styles characteristic of the province.

The Chavron wine is a good choice for a family gathering, a fun friendly party or a corporate event. Drinks from Bordeaux bring a lot of bright emotions to all participants of the festival.
