Clos Puy Arnaud is an organic and biodynamic wine estate situated in the AOC Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux. This is the 2005 vintage of its flagship wine, which is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is packed with complex notes of black fruits, blackberry liqueur, marmalade, crème brûlée, vanilla beans and mineral undertones. An impressive effort.
Producer Information
Clos Puy Arnaud has a history that dates back to at least 1871 in the Cotes de Castillon region. However, the modern era for the estate begins in the year 2000 when Thierry Valette purchased the estate. If the Valette name sounds familiar, it should.Thierry Valette is related to the Valette family that also owns Chateau Troplong Mondot and previously, Chateau Pavie. In fact, Thierry Valette was one of the owners of Chateau Pavie before the estate was sold to Gerard Perse. He also owned Chateau La Prade, until 2000, before taking over Clos Puy Arnaud.
