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 pure and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc from a 1.4ha organically farmed parcel on the north bank of the Cher, where 35–40-year-old vines grow on flinty clay-limestone soils. Hand-harvested, gently pressed and spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts before ageing in old oak, it shows green apple, citrus and white flowers alongside herbal notes and a distinctive flinty edge. The palate has lovely texture yet remains fresh and energetic, with bright acidity and a long, saline mineral finish. A beautifully expressive, characterful take on Loire Sauvignon in the unmistakable Tue-Boeuf style.
