More About Chateau Le Puy "Emilien" 2019 Magnum

Château Le Puy has been doing things its own way for generations, and Émilien is a good example of why Bordeaux doesn't always have to mean heavily extracted Cabernet and new oak. Made by the Amoreau family from organically and biodynamically farmed vines, this is a beautifully expressive blend led by Merlot, with Cabernet Sauvignon and a little Carménère.

The 2019 opens with ripe blackcurrant and cherry, alongside baked apple, candied raspberry and hints of dried flowers and Christmas spice. There's a lovely combination of generous fruit and freshness, with silky tannins and a fine, almost chalky structure. A little liquorice and savoury earthiness emerge as it opens, leading into a long, delicate finish.

Fermented naturally and aged for two years in older oak, without fining or filtration, this is Bordeaux with a lighter touch and plenty of personality. The Magnum format should give it an even longer life in the cellar.

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.
