Le Puy Barthelemy 2016

Made from 100% Merlot, this wine is aged for two years in used barrels, following the lunar cycle. This wine is named after one of the most illustrious winemakers in the Amoreau family, Barthélemy (1844-1925), who bequeathed his notebooks to the estate, where he questioned the use of sulphur in the vinification process. Following Barthélemy’s theory, the wine is made without any added sulphur and is unfiltered. A deep purple in color, the wine offers delicate aromas of undergrowth and mushrooms that lead into a rich and complex palate, with a deep yet silky structure, and notes of black cherry and crisp blackberries. This red wine is an absolute stunner alongside grilled meat, a leg of lamb, monkfish with mushrooms, and Peking duck.
