La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024) : 94/100 Coup de ♥ “Outstanding concentration of fruit, a relief of invigorating flavors.”
Vinous (Antonio Galloni - December 2022): 95/100 “Clos Puy Arnaud 2020 is one of the great wines of this vintage. Notes of inky red fruit, blood orange, spice and mocha follow one another on the palate. Silky tannins envelop the rich, inviting finish. The saline energy and precision of this wine are simply unreal. This is a wine of extraordinary character and personality.”
