Common questions
- What does Châteauneuf taste like?
- Châteauneuf is sparkling, full-bodied, silky and soft, closing on a soft, round finish. It belongs to the Spa Baron type in our sixteen-part typology, and the house tasting notes run frankly salty, robust body and soda mineral. Its pH is acidic, which on the palate reads as a faintly sour edge.
- Is Châteauneuf good for you?

- How much sodium is in Châteauneuf?

- Is Châteauneuf hard or soft water?
- By its calcium and magnesium, Châteauneuf works out to 418 mg/L as calcium carbonate, which counts as very hard water. That is genuinely hard water, chalky on the tongue and quick to scale a kettle.
- Is Châteauneuf alkaline or acidic?

- Is Châteauneuf still or sparkling?
