2018 Meursault, Gouttes d'Or, Arnaud Ente (1.5L)

Bright creamy citrus aroma, so much more obvious fruit than in the La Sève du Clos just tasted. More spicy than La Sève though it was so hard to move on from that wine. This wine is probably the most likely to cope with the tasting order, says Ente. Deep and full-fruited, creamy texture, fuller in the mouth but has less dramatic power than the Sève. More rounded but still incredibly fresh, more generous in its fruit. More seductive. ~ (18) Julia Harding, JancisRobinson.com 11-27-2019

A pretty top note of honeysuckle can be found on the spicy aromas of white flowers, poached pear and discreet lemon confit wisps. The very rich and caressing, even opulent, medium weight plus flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract while the markedly firm acid spine keeps everything in balance. This too is excellent. ~ (93) Allen Meadows, Burghound 6-1-2020

The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Gouttes d'Or mingles aromas of pear and Meyer lemon with hints of toasted almond, white flowers and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, with lovely depth and mid-palate amplitude, its elegantly fleshy core of fruit is girdled by racy acids. ~ (93) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-14-2021
