Le Puy - Expérience Blaise-Albert : Coffret Blaise-Albert 1610-2018 n°2/200
The Amoreau family have been making wine since 1610, between Libourne and Bergerac. Château Le Puy is undoubtedly one of Bordeaux's most innovative estates; the vines are grown biodynamically, new wood has always been banned, and the producers use very little sulphur during production. Their cuvées are quite the opposite of standardised, with a pleasant rustic profile and an easy-drinking side that might be surprising for a Bordeaux. Such qualities have been roundly lauded since the 2003 vintage was called the best wine in the world by the famous Japanese manga comic ‘Les Gouttes de Dieu'. Here, originality is a family tradition, and they are even pushing for the creation of their own “Le Puy” appellation. One to watch!
Since 2017, the estate has voluntarily left the Côtes de Francs AOC to enjoy greater freedom, and all of its wines are now produced under the Vin de France designation. For the Amoreau family, originality is somewhat of a tradition. The château even experimented with ageing a wine in the hold of a sailing schooner during a months-long Atlantic crossing, reviving the legend of galleons resting on the seabed with bottles of wine in their hulls.
