Meursault Goutte d'Or, Domaine Arnaud Ente 2015

This is the first wine to display noticeable exotic characters on the ripe white fruit liqueur-like aromas that are laced with hints of viognier and citrus zest. The powerful yet caressing big-bodied flavors possess outstanding mid-palate concentration yet there is no sense of heaviness to the balanced and structured finish. Drink: 2023+

Tasted blind, this was an exceptional showing for Ente's 2015 Meursault 1er Cru La Goutte d'Or, a beautiful wine that offers up a youthfully reserved bouquet of iodine, citrus oil and white flowers. On the palate, this Goutte d'Or is full-bodied, ample and layered, with terrific cut, concentration and length, its tension and vivacity lending it considerable drama despite its reticence in other respects. 2020 - 2035
