Some of the most notable innovations of the last century : > 1921 : Jean introduced the technique of 100% de-stemming to produce wines using only the best, most aromatic grapes. > 1934 : Robert reverts to more traditional winemaking practices, and a fermentation process with submerged cap and enhanced extraction. > 1990 onwards: Jean Pierre and Pascal begin researching ways of maturing their wines without adding sulphites. Their wines are created using only the finest grapes, painstakingly selected, and without any added sulphites, sugars or yeasts during the fermentation process. They are matured for 24 months with no sulphur dioxide, with regular stirring in the barrel scheduled according to the lunar calendar (biodynamic maturing). This minute attention to detail allows us to produce wines which require neither filtration nor fining, wines with remarkable qualities in their youth and the potential to mature and develop over many years. These new techniques have been in application since the 1998 vintage, producing wines which are an ‘Authentic Expression of our Terroir.’ Famille Amoreau de père en fils depuis 1610, l’authenticité par le vin.

Home News Our wines Our vineyard Medias Contact Us EmilienBarthélemyRetour des îlesBlaise-AlbertMarie-CécileMarie-ElisaRose-MarieAuthentification The wines of Château le Puy are produced from the fruit of fifty-year-old vines. Biodynamic and organic treatment methods allow us to protect and nurture these vines with the utmost respect for nature. The wines of Château le Puy all have distinctive personalities : Red : crimson robe with a hint of ruby in the younger vintages, with occasional hints of orange. A nose dominated by ripe red fruit, particularly blackcurrant and redcurrant, accented with roasted almond notes and sometimes subtle mushroom aromas. Well-rounded, full-bodied, concentrated, elegant and blessed with velvety-smooth tannins. A finish which is long, rich and enjoyably complex. The red wines of Château le Puy are exceptional in almost every vintage: prized in their youth for their smooth tannins, after several decades in the cellar they reveal the full depth and character of this prestigious terroir. Best served with meats, game and cheeses. A great match for spicy dishes. Some of the ‘Cuvée Barthélemy’ wines are produced with no added sulphur dioxide. Dry white : a robe of sparkling gold. Vibrant, fruity nose with elegant hints of quince jelly and thyme honey. Full-bodied on the palate, with a supple opening and tight structure. Long, elegant finish.
