Le Puy Emilien

Details

The Château le Puy “Émilien” is a cult-favorite Bordeaux from the Amoreau family, who have farmed their estate in the same natural way since 1610. Often described as the “Burgundy of Bordeaux” for its ethereal texture and elegance, it stands apart from the typically heavy, oak-driven styles of the region.

Tasting Note: Garnet red, with hints of ruby. The nose is fruity, with ripe blackcurrant and redcurrant aromas and hints of roasted almond and mushrooms. Well-rounded palate, full-bodied, with velvety tannins paving the way for a long and complex finish.
