Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, October 2020

(92-95 points) Pale yellow. An effortless nose, graciously ripe, not exaggerated, yellow plum, high acidity here, a saline note even, impeccable intensity though I feel it was unfair to serve this after the world beating...

View From The Cellar, January 2022

I was wondering what the style of the 2019 Petits Charrons might be, given how miniscule the yields were in this parcel this year. I feared we might see a super concentrated wine, but that is most emphatically not the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2022

The 2019 Meursault Les Petits Charrons unwinds in the glass with notions of white flowers, orange oil, freshly baked bread, buttered popcorn and nashi pear. Medium to full-bodied, dainty and precise, it's bright and...

The 2019 Domaine Arnaud Ente Meursault Les Petits Charrons is a white Chardonnay hailing from the esteemed Burgundy region in France, specifically the Cote de Beaune. This wine is produced by the renowned Domaine Arnaud Ente and is bottled with a traditional cork closure.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a score of 93 points, describing it as a wine that "unwinds in the glass with notions of white flowers, orange oil, freshly baked bread, buttered popcorn, and nashi pear." The review highlights its medium to full body, calling it "dainty and precise" with "beautiful purity of fruit and a long, mouthwatering finish." The publication notably refers to it as the "most ethereal Meursault in the range."

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy offers a slightly higher score of 95 points, or a range of 92-95 points. Morris describes the wine as having an "effortless nose" with elements of "graciously ripe, not exaggerated, yellow plum" and "high acidity." He also notes a "saline note" and "impeccable intensity," although he mentions that serving it after La Sève du Clos might have been "unfair" due to the latter's exceptional quality. Regardless, Morris praises the wine's "astonishing" length and well-balanced acidity.

John Gilman from View From The Cellar echoes these sentiments with a score of 93 points. He mentions initial concerns about potential over-concentration due to minuscule yields but finds those fears unfounded. Gilman describes the wine as "a very classical rendition of Petits Charrons" with a "beautifully complex bouquet" featuring apple, passion fruit, almond, and a variety of fruit blossoms. Additional notes include "chalky minerality, iodine, and vanillin oak." On the palate, it is "expressive, precise and full," with "lovely mid-palate depth" and "great mineral drive." He concludes by commending its "excellent length and grip on the seamlessly balanced finish."

In summary, the 2019 Domaine Arnaud Ente Meursault Les Petits Charrons is a well-regarded Chardonnay featuring a harmonious blend of floral and fruit notes, balanced acidity, and impressive length. The wine has garnered high praise from multiple respected reviewers, making it a noteworthy selection for enthusiasts of Burgundy whites.
