The estate is situated on the same plateau as Saint Emilion and Pomerol. 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.  Only indigenous yeast is utilized, no chapitalisation is done nor is SO2 used during the fermentation. 

The “elevage” of the Le Puy wines is done according to the lunar rhythm.  The wines are neither fined nor filtered before bottling.  Jean-Pierre Amoreau and his son, Pascal, oversee the vineyards and vinification.

Made very simply and with extended aging at the winery, “Rose-Marie” a serious and soulful Rosé.  Bright, with delicate, sweet red fruits, it is wonderful to drink upon release but has the depth to allow for at least a few years of aging.

Chateau Le Puy “Rose-Marie” Rosé is an intense . Each vat is tasted at the beginning of fermentation, and only the most suitable are selected for this unique cuvée.  The juice is then fermented and aged in barrels for 6 to 10 months before bottling. The wine is bottled without filtration and no sulfur is added at any point. Limited in production; about 30 cases are made available for the United States
