Château le Puy "Emilien" Bordeaux, France 2017

85% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Carménère, 1% Malbec.

Located on the same limestone plateau as the village of Saint-Emilion, Château le Puy extends around a megalithic circle dating from the Bronze Age. Since 1610, the Amoreau family, pioneer of biodynamic growing, permaculture and the revival of ancient grapes, cultivates the vine within an ecosystem: manual harvesting, care by plant concoction, fermentation by infusion with native yeasts and aging in matured casks.

The nose is fruity, with ripe red fruit aromas dominated by blackcurrant and redcurrant, accented with roasted almond notes and occasional hints of mushrooms and undergrowth. The palate is well-rounded, full-bodied and precise, with velvety tannins paving the way for a finish is long and enjoyably complex. A wine of great finesse, with smooth tannins in its youth but also the potential to age and grow for several decades, revealing the full depth and character of this prestigious terroir.

Certified organic and practicing biodynamic.
