A spring surprise: four medals for La Grange

It's no secret to the wine world anymore that women have a more highly developed sense of taste than men.

The professionals of this field - the winemakers, oenologists, sommelières and merchants - come together once a year for the wine contest 'Féminalise' and taste more than 4000 wines from all over the world. The ladies were so pleased with our La Grange wines that they awarded us with four medals:

Icône 2012, from our top line Castalides was awarded a gold medal.

Castalides Édition 2012 and Terroir Syrah 2012 were awarded a silver medal each.

Castalides Réserve 2012 was awarded the bronze medal.

We think these women have excellent taste!

Major winetasting

57 samples in 7 hours, that's really hard work and a masterly performance.

We tasted our new vintages and created the new Cuvées. How much Syrah is going to be in the new Prat Bibal, what is the new Classique Rouge like and which lot will age in Barriques? For us laymen this is a difficult endeavor, not so for Gwenael Thomas, our consultant.

He is a highly gifted director and wine taster, he comments on every new sample and with a lot of patience, knowledge and sensitivity he makes the right decisions.

Hats off to to so much knowledge and skill and thank you for taking us expertly and in such a friendly manner through our new vintages.

Every one of the hard working attendees was enthusiastic about our new Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Both of them beautiful wines already.
