Following natural fermentation in cement vats, the wine spends a year aging in large 50-hectoliter foudres before moving to seasoned 225-liter barrels for another year, with no fining or filtering before bottling. Le Puy’s wines are a harmonious blend of acidity, fruit, tannin, and earthy minerality, offering a captivating balance. The "Emilien" unfolds with lush red fruit, while the palate is vibrant and deep, pulsing with energy. A subtle, savory umami note complements the wine’s brighter tones, creating an intriguing, grounded finish.
Château Le Puy sits on a rare elevated site on Bordeaux’s right bank, a historic estate that has been in the hands of the Amoreau family for an astonishing 14 generations. This remarkable heritage is matched by their commitment to producing authentic, naturally crafted wines. Certified biodynamic, the vineyards thrive without synthetic interventions. Native fermentations, no fining or filtering, and minimal sulfur use (only after fermentation) ensure purity in every bottle. Château Le Puy exemplifies that the soul of Bordeaux lies beyond the most famous châteaux, offering a classic yet natural expression of the region.
