Bourgogne Arnaud Ente 2015

The wine

Based in Meursault, winemaker Arnaud Ente is one of the rising stars of Burgundy. While he is better known for his white wines, this ‘simple’ Bourgogne Pinot Noir is nevertheless not to be missed. The vines of Pinot Noir are truly pampered; Arnaud Ente tends his four hectares of vines as one would a garden with the help of his wife Marie-Odile. In the winery too, everything is done as artisanally as possible. On the nose, you’ll find notes of ripe red fruits as well as a lightly animal element. On the palate, the wine offers incredible energy, complexity and impressive precision. The tannins are fine and the finish extremely long. This Pinot Noir is direct without concession. What’s more, the limited production at this domain have made Arnaud Ente’s releases some of the most sought-after in all of Burgundy. Pair this Pinot Noir with game, veal or poultry in sauce.

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
