It is incredible that Le Puy still goes unnoticed even by the eyes of Bordeaux connoisseurs, despite its 400 years of history. It is authentic. It is surprising. It is rich in personality and history. It stands out for being born in the small AOC Francs. It is made almost exclusively from the Merlot grape variety, and has never been classified by any ranking. Its natural philosophy practiced in the vineyards and in the cellar is not at all common in the region: in 1868 it already questioned the use of sulphites in winemaking. Its roots are in limestone soils that extend from the plateau of the glamorous neighbouring Saint-Émilion.
Wine:
The Barthelemy, Rose Marie and Marie Cecile wines are created by agitation without the addition of sulphites and matured in old barrels made of fine-grained oak. The maturation period varies from cuvee to cuvee and can take up to 24 months. They are "dynamized" regularly according to the lunar calendar and their specific needs, defined by in-house winemakers Pascal and Jean Pierre Amoreau. 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Natural and biodynamic wine.
