Les Referts is a highly regarded Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru vineyard, distinguished by its fine, stony soils and vines planted in 1965. The warm 2009 vintage encouraged full ripeness, lending this wine a lush, textured profile. It’s showing beautifully now, though it will continue to benefit from additional aging. The magnum format provides an extended aging window, allowing the wine to evolve gracefully over time in the cellar.

To call Arnaud Ente a small-production winery would be doing the word 'small' a disservice. Arnaud Ente makes a minuscule amount of wine, making no mistake to only select the very finest fruit from naturally low-yielding, old vines in the Cote de Beaune. As such, each wine he creates, from the Bourgogne-level to his finest crus are treated the very same, resulting in every single bottle becoming a collectible.

Arnaud Ente

The hallmark of Arnaud Ente's wines, made in tandem with his wife Marie-Odile, is the perfect verve of ripeness & freshness. With meticulous attention in the vineyards, cropping the yields to produce perfect fruit, their vines are often picked earlier than most, yet have achieved perfect ripeness.

The vines are of great age, some more than seventy years old, including the Seve du Clos which was planted just after the phylloxera outbreak had subsided. Beautiful old vines certainly generate the desired depth and density, and in the past two decades the Entes have trended away from opulence and more toward purity & elegance.

There is no strict formula in the cellar - barrels as well as glass tanks have been used, especially in the case of 2016 where there was not enough fruit to fill a barrel. The one dogma is to create a pure vision of each terroir, each bottle possessing a breath-taking weightlessness that belies its intensity and concentration.

Very pale green. Perfumed aromas of white nectarine and spring flowers. Tactile-verging-on-painful, with terrific cut to its steely flavors of white stone fruits. Persistent, harmonious acidity gives this wine great juicy appeal. Not quite as powerful as the Seve du Clos but this is even finer and more complex. A lovely expression of terroir, no mean trick for a very early-ripening vineyard in a vintage like 2009.
