1999 Closerie du Pelan Cotes de Castillon

Of the three vintages we received, the 1999 is truly at its peak. The aromas are earthy, primal, and animalistic with a dash of fruit. Savory with a capital S. We would be very happy to see you pair this with some sort of french stew. So, invite over a few friends and share in the bounty of beauty that resides in this bottle.

Although the fortunes of many vignerons in Bordeaux are shrinking, the Amoreau family, alongside their visionary co-owner Harold Langlais, have expanded their footprint in their corner of the Côtes de Bordeaux, including the vineyard of a local named Régis Moro, who left his career as a painter and returned to his roots, eschewing chemical treatments and modern gadgetry, obtaining organic certification in 2008 and biodynamic certification in 2013. He was even named “Winemaker of the Year” by the French newspaper Le Pointin in the early 2000s.
