Chateau Puy

Emmanuelle Puy is a young man with a great future. He is one of the ‘New Generation’ wine producers who has turned his back on tradition and instead of following previous generations who grew grapes as a crop and sent them to the local co-op he is making the wine himself. Emmanuelle took himself off to Cahors in south west France, learnt to make wine the modern way and returned to the Languedoc on 2003. He took control of his family’s vineyards, immediately halved the yield and began farming using organic methods. He bought and equipped a winery which will take many years of hard graft to see a return but he is a young man with passion and determination and is already making wines of note.
