Comment

The Dupuy vineyard has been a family property for several generations. Agriculture has always been natural, according to the ancestral method, without the addition of chemicals. The tradition has been perpetuated for centuries, the presence of the Berthon family dates back to the Middle Ages in the commune of Puisseguin. Now, the grandson Gérard Dupuy is developing the farm with the precepts of organic farming as practiced by his grandfather and father. The Domaine de la Grande Courraye is located on the edge of the commune of Puisseguin in Monbadon. The wines produced are tender with lots of aromas. The loam-clay-limestone soil creates dense and full-bodied wines with notes of red fruits...

Tasting

Supple and fruity wine, garnet red color, note of red fruits in the olfaction, keeps for 10 years. This lovely blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc on loamy-clay-limestone soils suggests a beautiful density in a fruity and supple juice. It's organic, with an aging potential of 10 years.
