We're telling you about their Winery
One of the few estates in the Bordeaux Francs Côtes de Bordeaux region that work like the 'old-timers'. Château Le Puy are wines of character, incomparable fruitiness and a magnificent expression of their terroir. The organic and biodynamic methods used by the Amoreau family are in fact the same as those used by Winery since their installation in 1610. Of course the technique has evolved... (the thermoregulation for example is done by self-regulated probes) but Mr Amoreau father, a strong and passionate character, is proud to preserve the ecosystem of his modest vineyard of the Côtes de Francs. He is now asking for the recognition of an AOP... Le Puy! Close to Saint-Emilion, château dominates the Dordogne. Here, Merlot is king (87% of theGrape varieties) and Cabernet Sauvignon (11%) ripen sufficiently, Carménère and Semillon for the whites complete a nice range of authentic and deep wines. The vines are on average 50 years old, planted at 5,500 vines per hectare on clay-limestone and silica-limestone soils, and yield about 36 hectolitres per hectare. | This explains the beautiful concentration of these wines! The healthy bunches of grapes that have not been treated with chemical fertilizers, herbicides or synthetic insecticides are of course hand-picked and destemming is the order of the day. Fermentation begins without yeasting and chaptalisation is unknown in the Amoreau family. The wine is tasted every week and matured for 2 years in 3 to 5 year old barrels and tuns, which are themselves steam-sterilized. Finally, the wine is bottled without filtration or fining, in the middle of the old moon. Château Le Puy's long ageing wines are available in 3 vintages (2 red and 1 white). The Winery created its wine library in 1917 in its own cellars and can thus offer us today old vintages dating back to its creation! |
