Juicy, succulent yellow stone fruits, floral infused honey and chamomile wrap around the palate as the 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts captivates the senses with its generous, inviting personality. The Referts is another of the more overt wines in this lineup, in relative terms. Suave, silky and impeccable, the Referts impresses for its fabulous balance and crystalline purity. Hints of white peaches, flowers, slate and crushed rocks flow through to the finish, where the personality of the vintage is most vivid. This is yet another great showing from Ente. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. (Not yet released) 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.

The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts wraps around the palate with expressive layers of yellow stone fruits. This is both rich and vibrant, and shows all of the best qualities of the year. The Referts is marvelously complete and harmonious from start to finish. I especially like the sensuality here. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. Arnaud Ente began picking very early, on September 1st. The 2009s spent approximately one year in oak, followed by six months in steel. New oak was around 25%. The 2009s were bottled in March 2010 with no fining or filtration.. I tasted the 2010s from oak. Both vintages are very strong.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
