Clos Puy Arnaud

Thierry Valette had not planned to pursue a career as a winemaker. Although his ancestors had been involved in the wine industry for four generations, he had a particular interest in the arts—especially modern dance and jazz.Benefiting from a spectacular terroir dominated by asterian limestone—a characteristic shared by the top-ranked premier crus—the soils impart finesse, freshness, and minerality to the grapes, resulting in deep, complex bouquets that rival those of the most prestigious terroirs. By embracing the rigorous standards of biodynamics, Thierry Valette has quickly established himself as an outstanding winemaker, skillfully crafting a wine that rivals the greatest and ranks among the most original in the Bordeaux region.
