Produced by Paulette Guimant, the wine is bottled at the estate and carries the official Appellation Côtes de Castillon Contrôlée designation with an alcohol content of 12% by volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Bordeaux, a globally renowned region by the Atlantic Ocean with a winemaking history dating back to the Middle Ages. Specifically, it comes from Côtes de Castillon, located on the right bank of the Dordogne river, just east of Saint-Émilion. This area, historically significant as the site of the 1453 battle that ended the Hundred Years' War, benefits from an Atlantic climate that is slightly warmer and drier than its famous neighbor. The 1996 vintage is described as classic and structured, earning a score of 94 points, reflecting the high-quality standards of the right bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe local terroir features limestone and clay on the higher slopes, ensuring excellent drainage, while gravel and sand dominate the terraces and alluvial deposits near the river. These soils provide optimal conditions for the region's grape varieties. The red wines of Côtes de Castillon are predominantly made from Merlot, which typically constitutes 60 to 80 percent of the blend, complemented by Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château La Nauze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57297493819718,"sku":null,"price":1100.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1028_ede181c5-83f5-454c-9c7f-ce564267cd56.jpg?v=1788860777","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.se\/en\/products\/cotes-de-castillon-chateau-la-nauze-1996","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
