Tasting notes for the Volnay 1er Cru "Santenots du Milieu" 2018 - Arnaud Ente

  • EYE: This Volnay has an intense and brilliant ruby red color. The color is deep.
  • NOSE: Notes of fresh red fruits such as cherry and strawberry, accompanied by a subtle touch of blackcurrant. Floral and slightly spicy nuances gradually reveal themselves, adding complexity to the overall aroma.
  • MOUTH: It has a silky and velvety texture. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, offering a balanced structure. The fruity flavors are expressed with elegance, dominated by ripe red fruits and a gentle hint of spices. The freshness brings liveliness to the wine, and the finish is persistent.

 

In short: The Volnay 1er Cru "Santenots du Milieu" 2018 by Arnaud Ente is a wine of great elegance and finesse. With its delicate aromas, velvety texture, and remarkable balance, it provides a refined tasting experience. This wine pairs ideally with the finest meat dishes such as grilled beef, duck breast, and veal chop, as well as aged French cheeses. Thanks to its aging potential, it can be enjoyed now but can also be kept for about fifteen years or more for a more complex evolution over time. A must-try for lovers of red Burgundy wines.

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).
