Their most prestigious asset is the Clos Cazals, the only walled vineyard in Oger, which is classified as Grand Cru. The entire vineyard is planted with Chardonnay, producing wines known for their finesse and aromatic power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eManagement and Evolution\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCurrently, the house is run by Delphine Cazals, the fourth-generation owner and first woman in her family to take over the reins. She assumed leadership after her father's passing in 1996. While the estate historically sold grapes to Grand Marques for their prestige cuvées, Delphine changed direction to focus on producing their own terroir-driven wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotable Wines\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSignature Cuvées:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eCarte d'Or: The house's signature style, characterized by balance, minerality, and brioche aromas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eLa Chapelle du Clos: Made from younger vines in the Clos Cazals vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eClos Cazals: Their premium offering from old vines, aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe wines from Clos Cazals have received notable recognition, with vintages like the 2002 being praised for their classic build-up and deep concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Cazals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50510598963466,"sku":"CEW557","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9273\/3194\/files\/Cazals.png?v=1735401561","url":"https:\/\/carlwandel.shop\/products\/claude-cazals-champagne-grand-cru-blanc-de-blancs-clos-cazals-2013","provider":"Carl Wandel \u0026 Søn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
