The 2019 Meursault La Sève du Clos is brilliant, unfurling in the glass with aromas of peach, pear, wheat toast, orange oil and honeycomb, framed by a subtle touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, deep and muscular, it's a seamless, layered wine with huge reserves of concentration and structuring extract, underpinned by a racy spine of acidity. This is an especially elegant Sève du Clos that's one of the finest renditions of this cuvée I've ever tasted chez Ente.

The 2018 Meursault La Sève du Clos has turned out brilliantly, and its extraordinary old-vine concentration is the perfect foil for the inherently open, generous vintage. Wafting from the glass with notes of citrus oil, fresh peach, beeswax, bread dough and crisp green orchard fruit, it's medium to full-bodied, multidimensional and incisive, its elegantly textural attack segueing into a deep, layered core, concluding with a bright, precise finish.

There are two barrels and two kegs of the 2017 Meursault La Sève du Clos, a stunning wine from very old vines in the lieu-dit En l'Ormeau. Offering up aromas of pear, Meyer lemon, tangerine oil, white flowers and hazelnuts, it's full-bodied, textural and amazingly concentrated, with a deep, layered core, laden with chewy dry extract and concluding with a long, resonant finish. Alluding to the vines' antiquity, Ente describes it as "a diplodocus."

The 2010 Meursault La Seve du Clos, from 120+ year-old vines in L’Ormeau, is a rich, seamless wine graced with exquisite depth and purity. It possesses remarkable textural richness while maintaining quite a bit of verve. The aromas and flavors wrap around the palate all the way through the seamless, inviting finish. This is another highly promising wine from Arnaud Ente. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. 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
