The Arnaud Ente 2018 Meursault Village opens in the glass with notes of crisp Anjou pear, white flowers, mandarin oil, bread dough and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it’s lively and precise, with a delicate but tightly wound core and a bright, mineral finish. As usual, this cuvée 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 hillside, the vines having been planted in 1952-1953 and 1998, respectively.
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.
