Château Le Puy is a 51-hectare family-owned Bordeaux winery that sits on the same rocky plateau as Saint-Emilion and Pomerol, overlooking the Dordogne Valley, and is made up of three plots. The wines come from Ecocert-certified organic farming and Demeter-certified biodynamic farming, without the addition of chemical fertilizers, herbicides or synthetic insecticides.
Jean-Pierre and Pascal Amoreau began to take an interest in biodynamics in 1990 and conducted research to age their wines without the addition of sulphites. They are marketed from the 1998 vintage.
The terroir is composed of clay-siliceous soils on a clay-limestone base for 10%, clay-sand-limestone soils on a limestone base for 65% and clay-limestone soils on a limestone base for 25%. The red grape varieties are 85% for Merlot, 6% for Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% for Cabernet Franc, 1% for Malbec and 1% for Carménère, most of which are planted. The white grape varieties are 100% Sémillon.
The estate dates back to the early 17th century. The current Château dates from 1832 and was built by Barthélemy Amoreau.
