FEATURES
🏰 The 2020 vintage for Château Le Puy Cuvée Barthélemy shows a deep garnet color. The Amoreau family, owners since 1610, cultivate their vineyards biodynamically, with no chemicals in the vineyard or additives during vinification, making it a "natural" Bordeaux. The wine is aged for 24 months in used barrels, following lunar cycles, without added sulfur dioxide or other compounds.
The nose is refined with vegetal aromas reminiscent of undergrowth, or a rich array of aromas evoking a basket of perfectly ripe grapes. The palate is full of energy, evolving with notes of coffee and thyme, a salivating wine. It's rich and full-bodied, expressing the complexity of a deep yet silky structure, with a captivating finish. Expect plum, cassis, cedar, spices, pepper, roasted almonds, and chocolate, with a silky, complex structure and long, elegant finish. Other notes include blackberry, oak, earthy, leather, mushroom, cherry, raspberry, dried fruits (prune, fig, raisin), and smokiness. 【A biodynamic Bordeaux masterpiece, crafted with minimal intervention, offering a unique expression of terroir and exceptional complexity.】
🍴 Robust beef dishes, slow-cooked stews, salty charcuterie, aged cheeses, or hearty pasta/pizzas with tomato sauce, roasted vegetables, or mushrooms. Also pairs well with leg of lamb, monkfish in mushroom sauce, or Peking duck. For Eastern cuisine, consider braised beef brisket, roasted duck, or mushroom hot pot.
🥂 An excellent choice for a connoisseur seeking a natural wine experience, a special dinner, or a gathering with friends who appreciate unique and expressive Bordeaux.
