Castelnau is the official Champagne of Amaury Sport Organisation, organisers of the Tour de France, and this cuvée celebrates the partnership. Bottled in 2012, it is named after the Col de la Croix de Fer stage of the same year. It's made up of 15% 2011 base and 85% 2010 reserve wine, aged in barrique for almost a year. The five years spent on its lees has given this a faintly Burgundian Chardonnay nose of mushroomy development. It's bright and lucid in the mouth, with a good concentration of citrus and apple fruit backed by fearsome acidity. This feels like it could go the distance, and is certainly on the drier end of the Brut scale. Rich but incredibly fresh.
