Château Le Puy is a producer in Hills above Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France, presented in Biodyna’s Green Guide as a reference for thoughtful farming and wines with a clear sense of place.
Amoreau family estate farmed for over 400 years on limestone-clay slopes above Saint-Émilion. Never used chemical treatments. Horse plowing, native yeasts. Original Bordeaux natural voice.
The project is defined by its practices: Biodynamic, Natural (often little/no added sulfites). Farming and cellar work are kept as close to the vineyard as possible, with an emphasis on soil life, manual care, and wines that taste of their origin rather than of the cellar.
Like the longer portraits already published on The Green Guide, this profile is meant to be read as a full introduction — who they are, how they farm, and what is in the glass — not as a short product blurb.
The wines
The range is built to show the estate rather than a single cuvée. Expect wines that are drinkable young, marked by fruit, energy and texture, and shaped by the farming described above.
Barthélemy: Merlot + Cabernet Sauvignon in old oak - dark cherry, forest floor, mineral.
Emilien: brighter younger-vine red.
Rosé Marie: deep structured rosé. Duc des Nauves white. Retour des Iles briefly sea-aged.
Practices: Biodynamic, Natural (often little/no added sulfites)
Origin: Hills above Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France
