RetourdesÎles–2019–LePuy

Retour des Îles 2019 from Château Le Puy is a biodynamic and natural red wine that traveled the world before being bottled, produced by Pascal Amoreau.

85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Carménère. Three casks were loaded onto the schooner Goélette “De Gallant” in La Rochelle, which made stops in Madeira and Cape Verde, before setting off across the Atlantic Ocean. Several port calls followed: Barbados, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Martinique… The adventure continued along the coast of Central America, from Mexico to Nicaragua. Steeped in sea air and beautiful landscapes, they sailed home to the French vineyards. After a year at sea, they’d finally returned to Le Puy’s cellars to be bottled.
