Drawn from old-vine Sémillon farmed without compromise in biodynamie, this is a white wine of striking purity — the kind that makes you pause before the second sip. The coolness of the 2024 growing season has done it an enormous favour, lending a tension and lift that keeps the wine alive across the palate. No added sulphur (or the barest trace at bottling, lot dependent), yet it is anything but fragile; aged in barrel, it carries real structure beneath its transparency. Think white peach, beeswax, and fresh almond, with a long, saline finish that lingers well past the glass. A wine for those who understand that restraint, not power, is the harder thing to achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore About The Winery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-template--18080282083398__banner\" class=\"shopify-section main-collection-banner container--remove-margin-after\" data-js-inert=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container--large  container--vertical-space-small\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-heading gutter-bottom--page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-heading__text remove-empty-space\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collection-header__description rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwned 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Le Puy","offers":[{"title":"6 x 750 ml","offer_id":45235041566790,"sku":"VSSK-04059-Case - 6 x 750 ml","price":540.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 x 750 ml","offer_id":45235041534022,"sku":"VSSK-04059","price":94.8,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/5177\/8374\/files\/LePuy-Bordeaux_MarieCecile_White2022_b0a270ac-4ed8-42fd-be4f-ffa4ae945f91_2.webp?v=1782692129","url":"https:\/\/thevintageclub.sg\/products\/le-puy-bordeaux-marie-cecile-white-2024","provider":"The Vintage Wine Club Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
