The 2021 Clos Puy Arnaud is terrific, with a dense purple hue to go with impressive red and blue fruits as well as notes of integrated oak, flowers, and leafy herbs. Balanced, ripe, and textured, it's rock solid. The blend is 50% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. 88-90+

The 2021 Clos Puy Arnaud has a backward nose of blackberry and cassis fruit, just slightly stilted compared to others. The palate is medium-bodied with stringy tannins and a little chewy, leading to a muscular finish. Not bad, but it lacks a bit of finesse.

Kräftige Farbe. Sehr intensive Frucht, florale Noten, Veilchen, Himbeeren, Cassis, sehr schön. Der Gaumen ist zugänglich und weich, präzis, frisch, mit knackiger Frucht, einer guten Säure und einem super-fruchtigen Finale. Ausgezeichnet und in jedem Alter ein Genuss. 2024-2038 (Verkostet im April 2022. Grand Cercle des Vins de Bordeaux)

A la fois juteux, harmonieux et frais, le bouquet offre des arômes de cassis, de mure, de fleurs et de menthol. Juteuse et savoureuse, la bouche est harmonieuse et possède une acidité magnifique, plus maitrisée que les années précédentes, ce qui en fait un vin à l'équilibre idéal pour le millésime avec une buvabilité assumée. Beau potentiel de garde également.

A strong performance from the Côtes de Castillon, the 2021 Clos Puy Arnaud is a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Revealing aromas of dark cherries, cassis, sweet soil tones and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and lively, with tangy acids and a long, saline finish.
