Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 31 Jan 18
The Arnaud Ente 2014 Meursault Villages is excellent, opening in the glass with notes of tart green apple, lemon oil, lime zest and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium-full and elegantly glossy, built around a lovely line of ripe acids and finishing with unmistakably chalky grip. A Meursault that emphasizes intensity and precision over sheer scale. Ente's Meursault Villages derives from two lieux-dits: En l'Ormeau on the plain (which is also the source of Ente's Clos des Ambres and Sève du Clos bottlings) and Les Casse-Têtes on the hillsides, the vines having been planted in 1952-1953 and 1998, respectively.

60% fruit from En l'Ormeau and 40% from Les Casse-Têtes.Sweet, spicy nose. Sap and savour and beautifully sculpted but without being excessive or skinny. Great stuff. Just the job and beautifully balanced and open already. Still quite a bit to chew on. (JR)

Meursault Fine Wine

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
