Description

Purer than water: The secrets of a mythical wine is much more than a winemaker's book: it is a Confession, a chronicle and a philosophy of life signed Jean-Pierre Amoreau, representing the thirteenth generation of winemakers from the Château le Puy.

Château le Puy, an estate beyond time

In the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards, Château le Puy is unique:

A land passed down from generation to generation for centuries
A domain organized around a millennia-old cromlech, witness of history and long time
A respectful cultivation, never having disrupted the natural balance of the soil and the vine

A life told like a wine

Jean-Pierre Amoreau draws a poetic parallel between his life and the maturation of a wine. His story reflects:

The Family transmission and the pride of a heritage
The philosophy of the vine, made of patience, humility, and obstinacy
The desire to create a wine that expresses the truth of its terroir and the person who cultivates it

A philosophy of freedom and authenticity

Wine is not just a beverage here: it is a promise of authentic happiness, a way of living in harmony with nature. True to this vision, Amoreau advocates for a free, respectful, and visionary approach, which resonates particularly in the current context of returning to natural wines and ancestral methods.

A prestigious preface

The book is introduced by Eric Asimov, famous critic of the New York Times, who recognizes in Jean-Pierre Amoreau a unique and essential voice in the world of wine.
