Tasting Note:
The 2024 Marie-Cécile is a quietly complex Bordeaux white built on Sémillon’s waxy elegance and the estate’s chalky terroir. Aromas of lemon curd, ripe pear, and white peach mingle with acacia, chamomile, and a hint of beeswax. The palate is textural yet bright—citrus and orchard fruit carried by lively acidity, chalky minerality, and a subtle honeyed depth from lees aging. Long, saline, and poised; terrific with shellfish, roast chicken, and soft cheeses.

About the Producer:
Perched on the Saint-Cibard limestone plateau since the 17th century, Château Le Puy is stewarded by the Amoreau family, who farm their vines organically with biodynamic principles and a light hand in the cellar. Native-yeast fermentations, delicate extraction, and minimal additives foreground terroir and drinkability. Marie-Cécile is the estate’s rare white: old-vine Sémillon translating the château’s limestone into a refined, textural, and distinctly mineral Bordeaux blanc.
