Régis Moro, along with his wife Therèse and son Sébastien, founded Vieux Château Champs de Mars in the early 1980s, in the rolling hills of the Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, mere kilometers from the Amoreau family’s legendary Château Le Puy. Locale is not all Moro shared with Le Puy, however: Régis took a similarly rigorous approach in his vineyards, working organically from the outset and gradually incorporating biodynamic treatments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile gaining recognition in certain circles—even garnering “Winemaker of the Year” in the influential French publication Le Point in the early 2000s—Régis’ project never quite took off in the way he hoped, and in 2022 he sold his vineyards and winery to the Amoreau family, longtime friends and supporters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vieux-chateau-champs-de-mars-johanna-2001","title":"Vieux Chateau Champs de Mars 'Johanna' 2001","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA library release under the Vieux Chateau Champs de Mars label, this wine is named after Régis Moro’s granddaughter, Johanna. Considered Moro’s top wine, this blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc come from his oldest vines with an average of 70 years. A deep garnet in the glass, this red wine with over two decades of age offers an expressive bouquet of dried plum, blackcurrants, cedar, tobacco leaf, and hints of forest floor and softened leather. The palate is silky and balanced, with vibrant notes, saline minerality, and a lingering finish of baking spice and savory fruit. Best enjoyed after being decanted for an hour alongside roasted lamb, duck confit, braised short ribs, and mushroom risotto. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eStaff Pick: \"Wanna impress this holiday season with an eye-catching vintage that's friendly on the wallet?
