Since the Middle Ages, there have been records about the lieu-dit “le Tue-Boeuf” and its excellent wines which were enjoyed by the local nobility and the kings of France. The family name Puzelatz is mentioned in 15th century documents. Jean-Marie and Thierry Puzelat tend their 10-hectare family estate in Les Montils (in the Cheverny AOC) and rent 6 hectares in a village nearby, in the Touraine AOC. Since the 60’s, the Puzelats’ father had been making his own selections of vines to replant, and left them with vines of Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Menu Pineau (or Arbois), Pinot Noir, Gamay, Cabernet Franc and Côt (or Malbec).
A classic Cheverny blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay from a 1.9ha organically farmed parcel on flint, clay and limestone soils. Whole clusters undergo a semi-carbonic fermentation with native yeasts before ageing for around six months in used demi-muids.
Bright and wonderfully fragrant, with wild strawberry, raspberry and tart plum alongside floral notes, subtle earth and spice. The palate is juicy and sappy, with supple tannins, lively acidity and a long, lightly mineral finish. Fresh, energetic and immensely drinkable, but with enough depth and structure to develop beautifully in bottle.
