2022 Château Le Puy “Emilien,” Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France

Emerging from one of the few (and perhaps best regarded) biodynamic estates on the Right Bank, Château le Puy Emilien is a dry, full-bodied, smokey and vibrant Merlot-driven, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Carmenère red wine blend from the Côtes De Bordeaux - Francs. The wine is aged 24 months in oak barrels. Opulent with dark plum, raspberry, blackberry, dried fine herbs and baking spice flavors with beautifully-balanced acidity. Phenomenal value for the style.
