Backstory of Closerie du Pelan....
"Although the fortunes of many vignerons in this storied region are shrinking, the Amoreau family,
have expanded their footprint in their corner of the Côtes de Bordeaux over the past decade.
The family’s most recent acquisition is a real doozy. Back in 1984, a local named Régis Moro
left his career as a painter and returned to his roots, purchasing a property called Vieux Château Champs de Mars
which straddles the Côtes de Francs and Côtes de Castillon appellations.
An old friend of Jean-Pierre Amoreau, Régis similarly eschewed chemical treatments and modern gadgetry from the outset,
obtaining organic certification with the 2008 vintage and biodynamic certification in 2013.
While Moro’s star rose gradually on the home front—he was named “Winemaker of the Year” by the French newspaper
Le Point in the early 2000s—large-scale commercial success eluded him.
By the late-2010s, the winery was in mild disrepair, and the vineyards, still beautifully tended, were rife with missing vines,
yielding a mere 15-20 hectoliters per hectare as a result. The Amoreaus saw an opportunity to help an old friend
and to produce wine from a different terroir and they bought the property in early 2022.
While an Amoreau-produced Pelan will not be released for several years, the purchase package of this fixer-upper included an incredible surprise:
lurking below the cellar’s main floor was a host of older vintages, stored perfectly since their inception.
And we’re not talking about a few bottles of this and that; these are proper stocks—many hundreds of bottles of wines of real character and charm that,
simply never found a home—until today."
For the launch of Closerie de Pelan and our wine dinner experience,
we are offering Régis’ earliest available vintages, a series of wines encompassing vintages
between 1999 and 2009; the ample stocks of 2010 to 2015 will be released at a later date.
