14th generation—the Amoreau family has operated this château continuously since 1610. Pioneering zero-sulfur, biodynamic natural winemaking since 1990, selecting only perfect fruit. Spontaneous fermentation in concrete vats, 12 months in century-old foudres, 12 months in neutral barrels. Bordeaux at its traditional best: powerful yet restrained, subdued alcohol allowing layers of flavor. Toasted almond, mushroom, red and black fruit with glistening acidity revealing myriad nuances.

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:

Le Puy’s main-production wine “Emilien” is comprised of 85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Carmenère. After spontaneous fermentation in cement vats, it is transferred to 50-hectoliter foudres for one year, then to old 225-liter barriques for an additional year, before being bottled without fining or filtering. There is a harmony of elements in the wines of Le Puy—a weaving together of acid, fruit, tannin, mineral and earth—that is spellbinding. The “Emilien” offers a succulence of sappy red fruit as well as a driving, tunneling palate of remarkable energy. A subtle but irresistible umami pervades the palate and grounds some of the wine’s higher tones with its savory pull.
