Meursault 1er Cru Goutte d'Or Arnaud Ente 2008

The wine

A wine from one of the Côte de Beaune's emblematic domains. This Meursault premier cru comes from a clay-limestone terroir and 20-year-old Chardonnay vines. The grapes are vinified traditionally and raised for a year and a half in demi-muids, followed by a further six months in vats. This premier cru is one of the best in the appellation and the wine charms with its subtle balance between purity, intensity and tension. A delicious wine to be cellared for a few years before enjoying with gastronomic dishes.

About the Producer Arnaud Ente

Arnaud Ente is a small winemaker (but not for long!) who cultivates his 4 hectares of vineyard with his wife and just two wine-growers. His remarkable work has been hailed as he was named "Man of the Year" 2013 by the Guide Bettane and Desseauve. His work remains extremely faithful to the Burgundian tradition. It is no coincidence that this wine was chosen for this prestigious honour. According to Michel Bettane, "Arnaud Ente has achieved mastery in viticulture and winemaking. I think they are the most successful Chardonnays in terms of overall balance and work, in all of Burgundy, and maybe even worldwide. He is an exceptional talent". We get it: Arnaud Ente is Michel Bettane’s real favourite
