2018 Meursault, Clos des Ambres, Arnaud Ente (1.5L)

Tight, bright discreet cedary lime. Very precise, mouth-watering, linear but with a covering of fruit around the shaft of the arrow. Firm and almost chewy on the finish. Salty too and mouth-watering. Not full in fruit but extreme in length and salty precision. Almost eye-watering in its tension. ~ (17) Julia Harding, JancisRobinson.com 11-27-2019

This is aromatically similar to the straight Meursault villages but with more prominent floral nuances. The solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors brim with sappy dry extract and excellent richness to the palate coating and nicely powerful finish. This appealingly textured effort is quite tightly wound and will need time in bottle to fully mature. ~ (92) Allen Meadows, Burghound 6-1-2020

A beautiful wine, Ente's 2018 Meursault Clos des Ambres unwinds to reveal aromas of pear, orange oil, wheat toast, chamomile and subtle hints of praline. Medium to full-bodied, bright and incisive, with lively acids and chalky structuring extract, it's an elegant, nicely concentrated rendition of a cuvée that I've always particularly enjoyed chez Ente. I suspect it will develop very nicely with some time in bottle. ~ (92) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-14-2021
