2022 Chateau Le Puy Duc des Nauves Rouge - Côtes de Francs, Bordeaux, France (750ml)

From the Amoreau family at Château le Puy, who have been making wine in the region since 1610, comes this certified biodynamic Merlot blend. 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon co-ferment with native yeast before aging in cement for a year before bottling without filtration. The resulting wine is medium-bodied with notes of ripe blackcurrant and crushed leaves, finishing with firm, velvety tannins. A Bordeaux label that appeals to both natural wine drinkers and fans of the classics, pull this out as a show-stopper barbecue wine to drink with pulled pork sandwiches or black-eyed peas & collard greens.
