Clos Puy Arnaud
Thierry Valette did not set out to become a winemaker. Although his ancestors had been involved in the wine industry for four generations, he had a particular interest in art, especially modern dance and jazz.

It was only later that Thierry Valette decided to take over, first at Château Pavie, the family estate acquired by his great-grandfather in the 1940s. He also learned from François Mitjaville at Château le Tertre Roteboeuf, Peter Sichel in the Corbières region, and Stéphane Derenoncourt at Château Pavie Macquin.
Thierry Valette then met Anne Calderoni, a specialist in biodynamics, in order to guide the Clos Puy Arnaud vineyard towards organic and biodynamic farming practices.

Today, Clos Puy Arnaud wines are a synthesis of the tradition of finesse and elegance found in the great wines of the Right Bank, and a hedonistic approach that demands fruit, pleasure, and freshness. These wines can be enjoyed young or cellared for several years.

Benefiting from spectacular terroir dominated by asteriated limestone, common to premier cru classified wines, the soils bring finesse, freshness, and minerality to the grapes, with deep, complex bouquets that rival those of the most prestigious terroirs. Choosing the demanding approach of biodynamics, Thierry Valette quickly established himself as an outstanding winemaker, skillfully producing a wine that rivals the greatest and most original in Bordeaux. 
Currently, the vineyard is composed of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
