Vieux Château Champs de Mars

Right Bank Bordeaux blends from the Libournais, rooted in clay and limestone.

Vieux Château Champs de Mars sits in the Libournais, the historic heart of Bordeaux's Right Bank. The region's clay and limestone soils yield wines of structure and depth, and the winery's flagship Johanna Côtes de Castillon embodies this terroir. A blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Merlot, it draws on the Right Bank's traditional palette—grapes that thrive in the continental climate and reward patient cellaring. Wine Spectator has rated the wine, recognizing its balance of power and refinement. Côtes de Castillon, the appellation itself, occupies the eastern reaches of the Libournais, where smaller châteaux craft wines with character and precision, often at prices that reflect their quality rather than prestige alone.
