With the estate’s men enlisted in the army, Paule Amoreau, Pierre-Robert’s wife and mother of Jean Pierre, had taken over the winemaking since the start of the war. She produced a great le Puy vintage, with “a beautiful dark coffee colour. Aromas of sweet fruit and smoked almonds. An assertive palate with a lingering after-taste. An elegant and generous finish. The wine of a great woman which evokes a wonderful nostalgia.”
