Clos Puy Arnaud 2019

93 bud. - James Suckling

Ovo vino je sa krečnjačke visoravni u blizini sela Belves-de-Castillon. Sastoji se od 80% Merloa i 20% Caberne Franka, od vinove loze prosječne starosti 35 godina.

Clos Puy Arnaud je u vlasništvu Thierryja Valettea, koji je imanje doveo u organsku i biodinamičku certifikaciju. Vino je prekrasno, na odličnoj sredini života, sa sočnim voćem, ali i egzotičnim tercijarnim notama. Pijuckajte tokom dva do tri sata i vidite kako se razvija u čaši. Nos je gust i opojan, pun zrelih tamnih cvjetova, zgnječenih trešanja, sa ukusnim dahom sušenog voća poput grožđica i urmi i naznakom zemljanosti.

93 points - James Suckling

This wine is from the limestone plateau near the village of Belves-de-Castillon. It is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, from vines averaging 35 years old.

Clos Puy Arnaud is owned by Thierry Valette, who brought the estate into both organic and biodynamic certification. The wine is beautiful, at an excellent midpoint in life, showing juicy fruit but also exotic tertiary notes.  Sip over the course of two to three hours and see how it evolves in the glass.  The nose is dense and heady, full of ripe dark flowers, crushed cherries, with a savory waft of dried fruits like raisins and dates and a hint of earthiness.
