Arnaud Ente
Meursault Chardonnay 2017
Ente and Coche are just simply in a league of their own in Meursault, and the 2017 vintage is killer tonight from the very first pour, wafting from the glass with deep layers of yellow orchard fruit, hazelnut, pastry cream and exotic spice. It is its texture that really stands out to me. Elegant and ever so satiny with racy acids and tremendous drive that carries all its flavors home with a mineral and saline laced finale. — 9 months ago

Arnaud Mortet
Ma Cuvée Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2018
2022-3 winter. The previous bottle of this I had felt like the most overripe and in-Burgundy-like 2018 I’d tried, and by some margin. I figured some time might help, but have a growing suspicion that my cellar is too cold to really mature wines without multiple decades of wait. So…experiment time. I stored this for a couple of years in the basement but outside the cellar. It’s not a textbook environment, at least for the summer months. Lo and behold, this had loosened up a fair bit, with more expressiveness on the nose too. It was still riper and heavier than it needed to be but was good. Would it have been better with 30 years at 14 degrees? Perhaps, but it’s a near-academic question for me given the prices of burgundy these days. — a year ago

An oldie left from Gordon’s and the little Bordeaux is drinking so nicely, even on day three in Eto and the earthiness of day one is not as prominent but the ripe fruit mineral nose and balance and complex palate the same. Deal! Last one! — 2 months ago
