Clos Puy Arnaud Cuvée Bistrot 2016

The wine

Since the 2016 vintage, this cuvée is now 100% Merlot. Thierry Valette’s wish is to make wines that he enjoys; this is reflected in this easy-drinking wine. Fruity, with juicy tannins, this is a lively wine, and most importantly, organic!

About the Producer Valette

Philippe Valette belongs to the third generation of wine growers in charge of the 8.5-hectare family domaine of the Mâconnais coast, producing exclusively white wines. Converted into organic farming in 1992, the domaine pays special attention to soil and vines throughout the year. The wines are neither filtered nor clarified. Philippe Valette likes to take his time, the élevage of his wines is done depending on their maturity, not according to the market. The wines spend 9, 14 or 18 months in barrels and even up to seven years for certain cuvées. Outstanding wines are exceptional, with a finesse and a rare complexity
