SituĂ© sur le mĂȘme plateau rocheux que Saint-Emilion et Pomerol et surplombant la magnifique vallĂ©e de la Dordogne, Le Puy siĂšge fiĂšrement depuis plus de 400 ans (depuis 1610) sur le deuxiĂšme point gĂ©odĂ©sique le plus haut du dĂ©partement de la Gironde. Ici 15 gĂ©nĂ©rations se sont succĂ©dĂ©es. VĂ©ritable modĂšle dans l’histoire du vin naturel dans la vignoble bordelais, la famille Amoreau produit des vins sans intrants chimiques, en restant fidĂšle Ă  ses valeurs paysannes ancestrales : c’est Jean Amoreau (l’arriĂšre grand-pĂšre de Pascal Amoreau) qui dĂ©cidera du refus total Ă  recourir aux produits chimiques tant Ă  la vigne qu’au chai. Le Puy deviendra Ă©galement l’un des premiers domaines bordelais certifiĂ©s Ă  produire du vin biologique en 1964 ainsi qu’à protĂ©ger manuellement les bouchons de ses bouteilles par un revĂȘtement de cire, technique permettant de limiter les Ă©changes d’oxygĂšne entre le vin et l'extĂ©rieur largement utilisĂ©e aujourd’hui notamment dans le monde du vin naturel. Les vins y sont francs, sincĂšres et marquĂ©s par l’expĂ©rience unique de cette famille Ă  l’image des cuvĂ©es phares en rouge : Emilien et BarthĂ©lĂ©my. 1996 note la naissance de leur premiĂšre cuvĂ©e de vin blanc, aujourd’hui particuliĂšrement recherchĂ©e, ces parcelles de SĂ©millon prĂ©-phylloxerique nous donnent aujourd’hui les magnifiques cuvĂ©es Marie-CĂ©cile et Marie-Elisa. Depuis, le domaine travaille Ă©galement sur la rĂ©introduction d’anciens cĂ©pages bordelais afin de contrer l’influence du changement climatique. Ainsi, ils relancent la plantation de cĂ©pages tels que la Counoise, le Grolleau, le Chenanson ou le Castets. Autre Ă©vĂ©nement marquant dans la vie du domaine, ce fut la consĂ©cration en 2009 de Le Puy dans le manga au succĂšs planĂ©taire Les Gouttes de Dieu oĂč est consacrĂ©e la cuvĂ©e Emilien 2003 comme le meilleur vin du monde !

Several specifications correspond to these denominations. Here's an overview of the different organic, biodynamic and natural specifications:Organic specifications (AB label) prohibit all use of synthetic chemicals in the vineyard and cellar. It does, however, allow for a few oenological crutches during vinification. Sulfites, for example, are tolerated up to 100 mg/L for red wines and 150 mg/L for whites. In biodynamic viticulture (Demeter or Biodyvin label), the winemaker not only works without synthetic chemicals, but also takes into account the lunar calendar for all the operations he carries out. He also uses biodynamic preparations (fermented horn dung, silica, plant teas, etc.) to strengthen the vines. Overall, the winegrower seeks to integrate vine cultivation into a global environment. Sulphites can be as low as 70 mg/L for reds and 90 mg/L for whites. In Vin Méthode Nature, the specifications specify the use of organic grapes, fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts (as in biodynamic viticulture). Natural wines receive no inputs during vinification or ageing. Only minimal doses of SO2 are permitted (30 mg/L maximum), and must be specified by the winemaker. No brutal filtration or alteration techniques are permitted. We also find the Vins SAINS designation, which aims to ban the use of sulfites altogether.

Our aim is to offer you wines made by artisans, from small-scale estates, often family-run. That's why we take the time to travel the length and breadth of France, from vineyard to vineyard, in search of the natural wines that make us tick. We're particularly keen to help you discover the new winemakers of tomorrow, who are working tirelessly to bring us magnificent wines. We want to showcase them, give them greater, clearer visibility, and accompany them all the way to you!
