Chateldon Gran Reserva
Essence of the wine
Chateldon Gran Reserva is one of the most select expressions of our estate, made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced from the oldest vines. This wine stands out for its extended bottle aging, which grants it exceptional complexity, personality, and elegance. The name Chateldon comes from the fusion of "Chato", referring to the estate’s masia (traditional farmhouse), and "Cabernet Sauvignon", the grape variety used to craft this wine.
Variety
Cabernet Sauvignon 100%
Terroir
Plot 69 of the Mas Muntanyans estate is situated on clay-limestone soil, which is ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon. The proximity to the Mediterranean Sea provides a cooling breeze that benefits the vines, while the hilltop location of the parcel protects the vines, creating a mild and balanced climate, perfect for viticulture.
Winemaking Process
Following a meticulous hand-selection of the grapes in the vineyard, the winemaking process includes maceration at controlled temperature for around three weeks. This wine has been aged in French and American oak barrels for over two years. It is then bottled and aged for more than three years, refining its qualities and achieving a unique elegance
Appearance
Deep garnet color with hints of tile and mahogany.
Aroma
On the nose, this is a highly complex wine, offering ripe black fruit aromas, such as cherry and plum, blending harmoniously with subtle licorice and spice notes. Undertones of dark chocolate and a hint of cocoa emerge, along with a delicate presence of wood and a mineral touch, adding depth and complexity.
Taste
A full-bodied, well-balanced, and rounded wine. Its smooth texture combines with mature fruit, licorice, and chocolate notes. The long, elegant finish makes it an excellent
Serving temperature
18º
Food pairing and serving
A complex and harmonious wine, perfect for pairing with red meats, such as beef tenderloin, roasted lamb, or duck confit. Its velvety tannins also make it an ideal match for aged cheeses, like Manchego or Pecorino, as well as foie gras or pâté. Its versatility allows it to complement spiced dishes, like braised beef stew, and even desserts, such as dark chocolate or red fruit tart, enhancing its toasted and spiced notes.
