Château Le Puy has farmed the same patch of limestone plateau above the Dordogne since 1610 — never with synthetic chemicals, not once in four centuries. ‘Duc des Nauves’ comes from a neighboring nine-hectare vineyard the Amoreau family acquired in 2006, planted on the same astéries-limestone that defines Le Puy’s precision, at 80 meters above sea level.

Fermented spontaneously in concrete, aged twelve months in tank, unfined and unfiltered, SO2 at 27mg/L. The restraint is intentional — this is the approachable entry to the Le Puy lineup, built for the table more than the cellar. The freshness reads immediately; the tannins are velvety and fine.
