🏰 The 2006 Arnaud Ente Meursault Clos des Ambres is a testament to Arnaud Ente's mastery of Chardonnay, showcasing 50-year-old vines from particularly stony, clay-poor soil. Robert Parker rated this wine 90 points, highlighting its quality from a vintage where Ente's early picking maintained brisk acidity.
【Experience a captivating bouquet of fresh blossoms, a hint of smoke, and brilliant, shiny fruit, leading to an opulent palate with rapier-like acidity and jewelly greengage fruit.】 Notes of freshly milled wheat, lemon, coconut, honeysuckle, and chalk dust mingle with density and creaminess, balanced by refreshment and ripe fruit. The finish is clear and polished, with additional mentions of butter, oak, vanilla, minerals, honey, smoke, citrus, and nutty undertones. Some tasters also noted a reductive/toasted popcorn character, fresh yellow fruit, and a creamy/lactic quality.
🍴 This superb white Burgundy pairs beautifully with rich seafood like lobster or scallops, roasted chicken, creamy pasta dishes, or aged Comté or Gruyère cheese.
🥂 A superb choice for a special anniversary dinner or a sophisticated tasting event for Burgundy lovers. This wine is a testament to the aging potential of fine white Burgundy.
For a 2006 vintage, ensure the bottle is stored horizontally in a cool, dark place. Decant carefully to separate any sediment, though white wines typically have less. Serve slightly chilled, around 12-14°C (54-57°F), to allow its complex aged aromas to fully express themselves. Be mindful of the cork, as older vintages can have fragile corks.
