Tasting notes

Marie-Cécile is a 100% Sémillon dry white, vinified and matured according to the lunar calendar in traditional oak barrels. A beautiful expression of natural winemaking, it is crafted without added sulphites, offering purity and vibrancy in the glass. The wine shines with a sparkling golden robe, an expressive nose of pear and exotic flowers, and a generous, full-bodied palate. The attack is supple, the structure precise, and the finish long, lifted by a subtle touch of minerality. Best enjoyed within two hours of opening, as extended aeration can soften its elegance. This is a wine made to be savoured young, pairing effortlessly with seafood, washed or parsley-rind cheeses, sheep’s tommes, and other bold, complex cheeses—a pure, delicate indulgence.

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.
