Tasting notes

The 2022 Château Le Puy Rose Marie is a zero-sulfite, 100% Merlot rosé from Bordeaux, made by saignée, aged in used barriques and bottled unfiltered — a textbook example of the domaine's natural, additive-free approach. The nose is expressive and aromatic, with wild strawberry, dried cranberry, peony and a delicate hint of spice. The palate is crisp and light-bodied, with fresh red fruit, a touch of pink grapefruit and a long, mineral, subtly rustic finish. Versatile at the table — charcuterie, gourmet fish, roasted white meats or lighter spiced dishes all work well.

More About The Winery

Owned by the Amoreau family since 1610, Le Puy overlooks the Dordogne valley on the same geological plateau as Saint-Emilion and Pomerol, once called the ‘Plateau of Wonders’. Le Puy was originally built at the beginning of the 17th century and later extended in 1832 by Barthélémy Amoreau. 

There are 35 hectares of vines spread over three plots with soils made of clay, limestone and silica. It’s quite common to find some sharpened flints between the vines as some parts used to be battlefields in medieval times. The soil type varies but is principally a mix of clay, silex and limestone, with very high acidity levels. 

The average age of the vines is 50 years and no synthetic treatments have ever been used at the estate, which is certified biodynamic. Harvest is manual, the grapes are entirely destemmed and the cuvaison is long, continuing for two to four weeks. The “elevage” of the Le Puy wines is done according to the lunar rhythm. The wines are neither fine nor filtered before bottling. Jean-Pierre Amoreau and his son, Pascal, oversee the vineyards and vinification.
