Arnaud Ente is invariably the first producer to start picking in Meursault and it shows in the pithy, chiselled, tightly wound style of many of his wines. This comes from two parcels in the village, vinified as four separate cuvées, and is spicy, leesy and bracingly crisp with lovely oak handling and a racy, almost mouth-watering finish. (Drink between 2022-2031)

A lovely fresh lemon touch to the colour. The nose is graceful but not yet giving much, whereas the fruit on the palate is beautifully expressive, with ripe apple fruit and a totally harmonious flesh, before stretching out to a fine long finish, amazing detail even minutes after spitting!

91+ The 2018 Meursault AC from Monsieur Ente is beautifully refined and complex out of the blocks, offering up a very zesty aromatic constellation of pear, passion fruit, hazelnut, chalky soil tones and a floral topnote redolent of orange blossoms. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, long and beautifully balanced, with a pretty core of pure fruit, really excellent backend mineral drive and fine cut and backend tension on the complex finish. This is not a broad-shouldered example of Meursault villages, but rather a wine of great precision and intensity of flavor. Just gorgeous.
