Chateau Le Puy Duc Des Nauves 2022 750ml

A cuvée from a neighboring vineyard belonging to the Amoreau family, situated on the same astéries-limestone mother rock as those of the estate, but at a slightly lower altitude—80 meters above sea level compared to Le Puy’s 110 meters. The culture and the vinification are carried out by the Château le Puy team following the same approach: natural, organic and biodynamic. The wine is made up 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeast, maturing in small, cement vats, bottled without filtration after 12 months. The aromatic bouquet reveals black fruit, plum and cherry, well balanced between its freshness and velvety tannins.

Located on the most prestigious asteries limestone plateau of the Garonne's right bank, known traditionally as the 'Coteau des Merveilles', the Le Puy vineyard grew around a megalithic circle dating from the Bronze age. The Amoreau family have been growing wine here since 1610, with the utmost respect for this ancient ecosystem. From this deep-rooted engagement come gastronomic wines of intense emotion, charged with a unique energy and the promise of happiness.
