Tasting notes for the Meursault 2017 - Arnaud Ente

  • EYE: The golden robe of Arnaud Ente's Meursault 2017 reveals incredible depth, a sign of balanced maturity. Its crystalline clarity and bright reflections herald a more than promising tasting experience.
  • NOSE: From the very first contact, this Chardonnay unveils a complex bouquet of aromas. Delicate floral notes mingle with nuances of stone fruits, creating an olfactory harmony. Subtle touches of hazelnut and fresh butter add an elegant dimension to this experience.
  • MOUTH: This Meursault 2017 offers a refined palate. The freshness of citrus, accompanied by delicate minerality, initially dominates. The well-balanced structure then evolves towards stone fruit flavors, complemented by a light touch of vanilla. The persistent finish leaves a subtle imprint.

 

In short: This Meursault is a gem of elegance and complexity, with its golden robe, aromatic floral and fruity bouquet, and balanced palate with citrus and stone fruit accents. Optimal today, this wine can gracefully age for the next 5 to 7 years, revealing more nuances over time. It pairs perfectly with grilled lobster, wild mushroom risotto, herb-roasted chicken, aged cheeses, or caramelized apple tart. This Meursault harmoniously complements a variety of dishes, promising a memorable culinary experience.

An artist of the vineyard in Meursault

 

Elected "Man of the Year" by the Bettane & Desseauve wine guide in 2012, Arnaud Ente still deserves the title. According to critic Michel Bettane, his white wines are "the most advanced [...] in the entire world when it comes to Chardonnay." The winemaker, who was also nicknamed the Rising Star of Meursault for a few years, is now considered to be one of the greatest artists of the vineyard in the Côte de Beaune.

With the help of his wife Marie-Odile, his son Pierre, and his two employees, Arnaud Ente takes care of his 4.5 hectares of vineyard the way he would his garden. Although, you need to understand that the man is a true perfectionist (and an inspiration to his brother Benoît). He strives for balance, in all things. Arnaud Ente not only seeks to produce the purest wines possible, he is also constantly trying to find a fragile equilibrium between tension and texture. Acidity and volume.

The concept of precision is very close to his heart. Everything is adjusted and calibrated round the clock... from picking the grapes to pruning the vines. Furthermore, respecting the Burgundy terroir is a real duty for him. Which explains why the yields are extremely low. Of course, Arnaud Ente only uses organic methods in his vineyard (he is a proud recipient of the French "Agriculture Biologique" certification).
