Château Le Puy

The Amoreau family has tended Château Le Puy since 1610, a continuity now spanning fifteen generations on the same Bordeaux estate. Organic farming was formalized in the 1960s, with biodynamic work following in the 1990s. Vines share the property with woodland, meadows, hedges and ponds.

Horses help work the soil, which is cultivated only shallowly, and plant infusions are used in a vineyard managed without synthetic treatments. Hand-picked grapes ferment with native yeasts in cement vats before at least two years of ageing in used barrels and large wooden vats.
