Description

Clos Puy Arnaud's Grand Vin is a deeply expressive and singular Castillon red, offering complex aromas of cedar, petrichor, and black plums. With a medium-full body, its earthy, stony character highlights the terroir over fruit, making it a serious, contemplative wine. Decanting brings out its full potential for current enjoyment, while careful cellaring will reward patience over the next decade. It pairs beautifully with robust dishes and mature cheeses.

This biodynamic gem is crafted under the skillful hand of Thierry Valette, whose organic and ancestral practices honour the unique terroir of the Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux. With a blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is naturally fermented and aged in a thoughtful mix of wood, cement, and amphoras. The estate’s limestone soils and old vines yield a wine that is both fresh and mineral-driven, offering an authentic reflection of its environment.
