Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Owned by the Amoreau family since 1610, this estate stands out for its terroir, its unique winemaking methods, and, above all, its viticulture. Led by ardent advocates of biodynamics—including its director, Harold Langlais—the estate’s wines are often praised by natural wine enthusiasts, though their distinctive style may bewilder those accustomed to classic Bordeaux. The wines are complex and show great aging potential, from the classic Émilien cuvée to the Barthélémy cuvée. For this latter single-vineyard selection, the estate is seeking AOC recognition from the INAO, citing the red clay and limestone geology, its location at the highest point of the appellation, and the high microbial quality of the soils, which have seen no inputs for ages. In the meantime, the estate’s wines are labeled “Vin de France.”

About the estate:
Long ignored, even scorned, Le Puy is now the object of everyone’s desire and arouses the curiosity of its most prestigious neighbors, who don’t hesitate to come in droves, as Harold Langlais, its director, told us. It must be said that the estate has plenty to offer, if only in terms of its history: a family whose winemaking roots date back to the early 17th century, soils that have remained untouched by chemicals for over 400 years, and wines and landscapes whose almost mystical aura would make even the most ardent Cartesians doubt their own convictions.

About the estate:
A little further east, overlooking the Dordogne, Château Le Puy can take pride in having been home to 15 successive generations of the Amoreau family since 1610. Advocates of the most natural winemaking possible and minimal intervention in the cellar, they produce moving and authentic wines, whether from the famous Château Le Puy or from Closerie Saint Roc—purchased in 2012—whose 2020 single-vineyard cuvée, Les Noyers, is superb, combining depth and velvety richness in a serene, well-rounded whole.
