Situated on the same rocky plateau as Saint-Emilion and Pomerol and overlooking the magnificent Dordogne valley, Le Puy has proudly sat for over 400 years (since 1610) on the second highest geodesic point in the Gironde department. Here 15 generations have succeeded one another. A true model in the history of natural wine in the Bordeaux vineyards, the Amoreau family produces wines without chemical inputs, remaining faithful to their ancestral peasant values: it is Jean Amoreau (the great-grandfather of Pascal Amoreau) who will decide on a total refusal to use chemicals both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Le Puy will also become one of the first certified Bordeaux estates to produce organic wine in 1964 as well as to manually protect the corks of its bottles with a wax coating, a technique to limit the exchange of oxygen between the wine and the wine. exterior widely used today, particularly in the world of natural wine. The wines are frank, sincere and marked by the unique experience of this family like the flagship red vintages: Emilien and Barthélémy. 1996 marks the birth of their first vintage of white wine, today particularly sought after, these plots of pre-phylloxeric Sémillon today give us the magnificent Marie-Cécile and Marie-Elisa vintages. Since then, the estate has also been working on the reintroduction of old Bordeaux grape varieties in order to counter the influence of climate change. Thus, they are relaunching the planting of grape varieties such as Counoise, Grolleau, Chenanson and Castets. Another significant event in the life of the estate was the consecration in 2009 of Le Puy in the globally successful manga Les Gouttes de Dieu where the Emilien 2003 vintage is consecrated as the best wine in the world!
