Château Le Puy - Barthelemy 2019
Château Le Puy is located in Libourne , Bordeaux . It has belonged to the Amoreau family since 1610 and today it is the fifteenth generation that manages the estate, with Jean-Pierre and Pascal Amoreau . The vineyard now extends over 51 hectares divided into three plots. From 1990, the latter began research into aging their wines without adding sulphites. These wines, produced from grapes subject to perfect sorting, which are not sulphated, yeasted or chaptalized during fermentation, are aged for 24 months without the addition of sulfur dioxide. They are therefore raised by stirring according to a precise lunar calendar ( biodynamic breeding certified since 2012 ). These wines are pure "Expression Originale du Terroir", as indicated on the label.
The Barthélémy cuvée is a blend of Merlot (85%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) , from a plot of vines called "Les Rocs". The wine is aged in oak barrels for 24 months , with technical interventions optimized in relation to the lunar calendar, without the addition of sulfur dioxide or other chemicals.
Grapes: 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
