Château Le Puy is one of Bordeaux's most fascinating estates—farmed organically and biodynamically since 1610, without interruption, by the same family (the Amoreau family has owned it since 1610 and never used chemicals). Located in the Côtes de Francs on the Right Bank, the estate gained cult status after being featured in the Japanese manga "Drops of God." The Duc des Nauves is their entry-level wine, predominantly Merlot with some Cabernet Sauvignon, made to showcase the estate's pure, natural style in a more immediately accessible format. Fermented with native yeasts, minimal sulfur, and no fining or filtration—this is Bordeaux stripped of pretension. Bright fruit, gentle tannins, and a lively, almost crunchy quality that invites you to open it with simple weeknight fare.

More about Chateau Le Puy

This is Bordeaux as counterculture. For over 400 years, the Amoreau family has farmed organically and biodynamically in the Francs Côtes de Bordeaux, using only indigenous yeasts and no SO2 during fermentation. Neal Rosenthal brought their wildly idiosyncratic wines to America, and they've built a devoted cult following.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

A cuvée from a neighboring vineyard belonging to the Amoreau family, situated on the same astéries-limestone mother rock as those of the estate, but at a slightly lower altitude—80 meters above sea level compared to Le Puy’s 110 meters. The culture and the vinification are carried out by the Château le Puy team following the same approach: natural, organic and biodynamic. The wine is made up 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeast, maturing in small, cement vats, bottled without filtration after 12 months. The aromatic bouquet reveals black fruit, plum and cherry, well balanced between its freshness and velvety tannins.
