Vieux Chateau Champs de Mars Cotes de Castillon 2000

$4699

A perfectly cellared back-vintage from a quietly brilliant Castillon estate. Vieux Chateau Champs de Mars sits in Castillon-Cotes de Bordeaux on the right bank, near Le Puy, where Regis Moro farmed organically and worked with low intervention long before it was fashionable, spontaneous fermentations, no new oak, gentle bottling. This Merlot-led blend with Cabernet Franc comes from clay-limestone soils and, now twenty-five years on, the 2000 vintage is in a beautiful mature window. A rare chance to drink aged Bordeaux done right.

Antonio Galloni

88 points

"Deep, bright ruby-red. Floral aromas of raspberry, cola and mint, along with a floral topnote. Silky-sweet and nicely concentrated; layered and pliant. Finishing flavors of black cherry and spicy oak really coat the palate. Tannins are substantial but sweet." —Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

86 points

"Made from the same blend as the 2001, the 2000 is slightly more muscular and tannic, yet accessible. Medium-bodied, with herb-tinged cherry and currant fruit, it will provide enjoyment over the next 2-4 years." —Robert M. Parker, Jr.
