Emilien 2017 Chateau Le Puy

France Bordeaux

Grape varieties: 85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Carmenère

The pure aroma of red fruits and the nuances of a moist forest such as mushrooms. There is a sense of transparency, and the taste supported by beautiful acid and minerals continues for a long time. It has an elegant and supple tannin flavor that is hard to believe from Bordeaux, which has a lot of rich flavors.

Biodynamic. 100% destemmed. Maceration for 4 weeks in concrete tanks. The cap is submerged in the wine with a net (no pichage or remontage) to suppress extraction. Aged for 12 months in large oak barrels without racking and for another 12 months in 250L old wooden barrels. Antioxidants are added in very small amounts during aging in large barrels.

A biodynamic chateau in Bordeaux that has been around for 400 years. We continue our unique biodynamic farming method in a field where the ecosystem is preserved.
