The 2010 Meursault is a serious wine at the village level. It boasts considerable depth, density and richness from start to finish. White stone fruits, crushed rocks and flowers are all layered into the pointed yet textured finish. The Meursault is utterly vivid in the glass. It is another drop-dead gorgeous wine that overachieves its appellation. Anticipated maturity: 2012+.

This is a stunning set of wines from Arnaud Ente. The 2010s stand out for their transparency, expressiveness and purity. Ente began bringing in his wines on September 15. Yields were down about 30% on average. Ente gave the 2010s 12 months in oak followed by 7-8 months in steel. The wines were all bottled in April 2012. There are a handful of more famous domaines in Meursault, but few that can equal the level of the stunning wines found at this small, family run estate that captures the essence of the Burgundian vigneron spirit.
