Emilien 2022
Boomer juice this is not. Château Le Puy’s Emilien is a sulry, structured, and spicy composition of Merlot (85%) Cabernet Sauvignon (7%) Cabernet Franc (6%) Malbec (1%) and Carménère (1%.) The vines are around 60 years of age and are organically and biodynamically farmed within the clay and limestone soils of Saint-Émilion. Beautiful, bold, and eternally stylish. Château Le Puy has been quietly crafting minimal interventions in Saint-Émilion since 1610. The property sits on the Saint-Émilion and Pomerol Plateau at the second highest point in the Gironde. The soils at Château Le Puy consist of a mixture of clay, silex and limestone. No sulfur is added during the fermentation process whatsoever. Pairs with: Steak frites with Béarnaise. Misery is a Butterfly by Blonde Redhead. This Porsche 911.
