2016 Domaine Arnaud Ente Clos des Ambres: Single-Parcel Meursault Benchmark

The 2016 Domaine Arnaud Ente Clos des Ambres Meursault 750ml represents an immaculate, soaring expression of Ente’s flagship monopole-like village climat. In particular, Clos des Ambres features old massale vines planted in the 1950s within deep, stony clay-limestone soils. In addition, the classic, tension-filled 2016 vintage produced white Burgundy of extraordinary mineral definition, electric acidity, and profound concentration.

Tasting Notes for 2016 Domaine Arnaud Ente Clos des Ambres

The wine opens with an explosive, hypnotic bouquet of matchstick reduction, roasted hazelnut, Meyer lemon zest, and white flowers. Furthermore, nuanced notes of crisp orchard pear, wet limestone, almond skin, and faint woodsmoke unfurl with breathtaking precision. On the palate, concentrated, textured citrus fruit cuts across the tongue with laser-like focus and mouthwatering mineral energy. Consequently, the finish reverberates with unforgettable saline drive, smoky chalk, and crystalline persistence.
