Arnaud Ente Meursault Clos des Ambres 2016

White
Meursault, France
7.0

Reduction overwhelms everything here, masking any expression of this typically expressive site. The palate shows impressive concentration and tension beneath the faults, suggesting quality fruit, but the sulfur compounds refuse to blow off even with time. Glimpses of potential emerge, but not enough to salvage this bottling.

Arnaud Ente

Arnaud Ente is one of Meursault's most sought-after small producers, making tightly wound, mineral whites from village and premier cru sites including La Goutte d'Or and Clos des Ambres. Allocations are tiny and demand is high.
