An esteemed neighbor of C. Le Puy, which plays an integral part in the winery these days, this is old school natural Bordeaux. A dry red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, this herbaceous library release was aged at the winery itself. An outlier in a sea of similar wines, this rustic and ethereal red is a true standout. Pair with lamb shanks braised in pomegranate sauce.

For white Bordeaux, only three varieties are permitted: Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillion, and Muscadelle. The exact percentages of each grape variety used in any...

Cabernet Sauvignon

The result of an illicit affair a hundred-odd years ago between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon today enjoys more worldwide popularity than both of its parents combined.
