Chateau Le Puy Marie-Cécile
Vintage: 2022
Varietals: Semillon
Farming: Organic/Biodynamic, Unfined/Unfiltered, No added SO2
Marie-Cécile is enviably endowed: a golden robe, a fruity nose with notes of pears, waxy lemon and exotic flowers, with a full-bodied palate. The charge is supple, the structure precise and the finish long with a touch of minerality. Best consumed within two hours of opening the bottle, or else the wine will react with the air and lose some of its elegance.
It is aged in used 500-liter demi-muids—most vintages yield only four barrels—and it is dynamized over the course of its elevage so that the lees are gradually and fully absorbed into the wine. No added SO2.
