Vibrant and clear in colour, with notes of black fruits dominated by black currant, black cherry, and blueberry. The palate is full-bodied and fleshy, velvety and complex, making for a wine at once lavish and supremely drinkable.
Pascal Amoreau
Pascal Amoreau has inherited quite the daunting legacy – especially since an internationally renowned manga series declared his family’s wine, Château Le Puy, “the drops of God”. The news took the wine world by storm, and soon media from around the globe were descending on this tranquil, ancient château. Yet its wine nothing more, and nothing less, than the result of the eminently simple and logical approach embraced by the Amoreau family, pioneer of “sulphite-free” winemaking. They are also editors of the biodynamics chart ‘Demeter’ and apply agroforestry and permaculture. The fifteenth generation of winemakers, relying on their heritage since 1610, have been honouring their ancestors with cuvées such as: Emilien, Rose-Marie, Marie-Cécile… Today, the reintroduction of old grape varieties, the return of hives and animal traction, the creation of pollination pathways all make an example of dynamism, commitment, and ecology of Le Puy.
