Our prestigious wines from the great region Pézenas have been very well rated by Parker.
Castalides Icône and Castalides Édition triumphantly continue what they started the year before.
For the first time Castalides Réserve has received a rating above 90 points.
This is how Jeb Dunnuck, one of Parker’s staff members and specialized on wines from southern France, rated our Castalide wines:

More than 90 Parker points means the wines are ‘outstanding’!
The Castalides wines are outstanding!
