Tasting notes
The wine has great finesse, mineral freshness, gentle tension and great purity. It captivates through the opulence of the fruit and the perfect balance between the tannins and a fresh acidity.
Vinification
The grapes are picked by hand and de-stalked.
“Infusion” fermentation takes place in tanks using indigenous yeasts. No sulphur or other synthetic products are added.
The wine is then matured in used large barrels for 24 months and is neither fined nor filtered.

Winery Description
The owner of the estate are the same as the famous Château le Puy (well known in Japan through the manga “the Drops of God”), and the plots are really close to each other.
La Closerie Saint Roc comprises 16 hectares in the production area of Bordeaux and Côtes de Bordeaux in the municipality of Puisseguin at only 12km from Saint Emilion.
The soils, with little soil on the rocks, benefit from a mainly clayey-limestone subsoil on a limestone base that offers considerable acidity and minerality.
Within their ecosystem, Pascal, Valerie Amoreau and Harold Langlais follow the philosophy and ancestral methods developed by the Amoreau family for over 400 years – fourteen generations of history and know-how – which we now know as biodynamics.
Every treatment used in the vineyard are made only from natural plants.
