JAMES SUCKLING: "A medium-bodied red with blackberry and brambleberry character. Some sea salt, too. Round, creamy tannins and a lightly chewy finish. Solid young red for this appellation. From organically grown grapes."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "This estate has consistently enhanced its quality over the years, and 2023 marks a peak vintage at this address. The 2023 Clos Puy Arnaud possesses a fresh, dense bouquet with aromas of blueberries, violet, spices, pencil lead and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and dense, deep and concentrated palate framed by perfectly ripe, velvety tannins alongside bright acids that segues into a long, powerful but elegant finish. This blend of 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon is a real success."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische Brombeeren, schwarze Kirschen, reife Zwetschken, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, feine Beerenfrucht, zeigt Energie und Frische, zarte Tannine, lebendig strukturiert, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter."
