Le Puy Marie Cecile Vin de France Blanc 2023
Chateau Le PuyGrape: Semillon
Vintage: 2023
Type: White
Le Puy Marie Cecile Vin de France Blanc 2023 is a delightful, refreshing white wine that showcases an elegant balance of fruit and minerality. On the nose, it offers delicate aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and a hint of white flowers, with a subtle, almost flinty edge. The palate is crisp and vibrant, with lively acidity that lifts the flavors of citrus and stone fruits, complemented by a touch of saline minerality. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of freshness.
Château Le Puy is a historic winery in the Bordeaux region of France, recognized as a pioneer in biodynamic and natural winemaking. The Amoreau family has owned and farmed the property since 1610, resisting the use of chemical products and commercial trends for centuries. The estate has never used synthetic fertilizers or pesticides and was among the first in France to gain organic and biodynamic certifications. They maintain a balanced, self-sustaining ecosystem by preserving a significant portion of their land as forests and wild areas. The winery briefly gained international attention when its 2003 vintage was featured in the Japanese manga series The Drops of God. Following a dispute over appellation rules in 2017, the winery left the Francs Côtes de Bordeaux appellation and bottles its wine as "Vin de France" to maintain its traditional winemaking style.
