More About Chateau Le Puy Duc des Nauves 2021

From one of Bordeaux's most respected low-intervention producers, Duc des Nauves is the wine that proves claret doesn't have to be heavy or polished to be seriously enjoyable. Made from younger vines farmed biodynamically and vinified entirely in concrete, it has all the freshness and energy that Château Le Puy is known for. Unfined, unfiltered and made with a light touch, a Bordeaux that's vibrant, savoury and incredibly easy to drink.

Bright red and black fruit alongside earthy, leafy notes and a silky texture. There's plenty of freshness, gentle tannins and just enough structure to make it a brilliant partner for roast chicken, charcuterie or a simple steak and chips. If your idea of Bordeaux is big oak and firm tannins, this might just change your mind.

Meet the Producer, Le Puy

Le Puy

Style: Winery

Bordeaux can sometimes feel a bit like a very expensive members club where everybody’s arguing about oak percentages while pretending not to care about oak percentages. Château Le Puy have spent the last few centuries quietly ignoring most of that.

The Amoreau family have been farming here since 1610, up on the limestone plateau of the Côtes de Francs, not far from Saint-Émilion but stylistically a world away from glossy modern Bordeaux. Chemicals never really arrived at Le Puy in the first place, which means their current biodynamic credentials feel less like a marketing pivot and more like stubborn continuity.

The wines themselves can catch people off guard, especially drinkers expecting dense, heavily polished Right Bank reds. Le Puy tends towards freshness, restraint and texture instead. Mostly Merlot with varying amounts of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère depending on the cuvée and vintage. Fermentations are gentle, extraction stays fairly soft and new oak is largely avoided. You end up with wines that smell of dark berries, dried herbs, damp earth and old cellars rather than vanilla pods and expensive furniture polish.

There’s a slightly timeless quality to the whole estate. The vineyards sit among woodland and pasture rather than looking like industrial agriculture with better branding. Even the wines with cult status, like Barthélémy, still feel surprisingly grounded once opened. Serious wines, definitely, but not pompous ones.

Le Puy also occupies a slightly unusual spot in the natural wine world. Revered by low-intervention drinkers while simultaneously respected by fairly traditional Bordeaux collectors. That crossover almost never happens. Usually the two camps are busy glaring at each other across a tasting room.
