'Miracle Hills' - A Journey through Côtes des Francs, Bordeaux, with Château Le Puy
Auckland
Event Description
Established in 1610 and located on the same rocky plateau as Saint-Emilion and Pomerol, Château Le Puy's vineyards were formerly nicknamed ''Miracle Hills'' on account of outstanding vintages produced through centuries.
More than 400 years of winemaking led Le Puy towards wines of refinement and elegance. Pioneer of biodynamics practices in Bordeaux (still a controversial subject
in the region), Le Puy wines are a true reflection of their terroir.
The Vintec Club is delighted to invite you to a journey through Côtes des Francs, Bordeaux, hosted by Frédérique Roine, Global Ambassador of Château Le Puy
for an exceptional dinner in Auckland.
On the night, you'll be treated by a 4-course dinner (with Champagne on arrival) and a selection of 6 different vintages of Château Le Puy.
We worked closely with the Maison to enable you to assess the aging potential of Le Puy wines - we will be opening current and aged cuvées of their Emilien & Bathelemy wines.
The dinner will be concluded with a very rare sample of Retour des Îles, a wine that matures around seas of the world.
In true Vintec Club style, we will cleanse our palates with a complimentary dram from our partner, the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.
