Experience the elegance of the Armand Heitz Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres 2022, a quintessential expression from the heart of Burgundy. Cultivated in the esteemed Perrières vineyard, this Chardonnay exhibits the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with Armand Heitz. Hand-harvested from biodynamically managed vines, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel vats, preserving their pure fruit character. The wine is then aged for twelve months in French oak barrels, imparting subtle complexity and a refined texture. On the nose, it reveals vibrant notes of ripe citrus, white peach, and a hint of almond, leading to a rich, mineral-driven palate with a lingering finish. This 2022 vintage exemplifies balance and finesse, showcasing the unique terroir of Meursault and the unwavering dedication of Armand Heitz. Ideal for pairing with seafood or poultry, it promises a memorable addition to any fine wine collection. |

Vinous (89-92)Green-tinged color. Complex aromas of lime, smoke, nut oil and charry oak. Densely packed and intensely flavored, with a strong lemony component and brisk acids making it almost painful in the mouth. But this has much more middle-palate flesh to support its firm structure than the comparatively bony regular bottling from Ormeau. |

Vinous (89)Subdued, pure aromas of citrus fruits and flowers. Supple, round and pure, with sweet stone fruit flavors that avoid coming off as exotic. Full, concentrated village wine with moderate complexity and good grip. (I found the 2006 Bourgogne Blanc to be pure but almost exotically ripe for a wine from Ente; the atypical sweetness of the 2006 vintage appears to have favored his Aligote.) |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)Pale clear colour. A gentle fresh apple nose, this has notable tension on the palate, not a rich, ripe rounded Meursault – but that is not the intention anyway. The attack suggests that this is only just ripe, but the finish indicates that it was picked at a very good moment, otherwise you wouldn’t have this length of flavour. Fine tension to finish. |

Wine Advocate (93)The 2017 Meursault Clos des Ambres is also showing very well from bottle, opening in the glass with notes of green pear, oatmeal, dried white flowers and a hint of youthful reduction that dissipates with aeration. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, multidimensional and textural, with an enveloping attack that segues into a deep, muscular core, concluding with a racy finish. |

Burgundy | 1 | 92+ (WA) | HK$16,840.00 | |||||
Wine Advocate (92+)A beautiful wine, Ente's 2018 Meursault Clos des Ambres unwinds to reveal aromas of pear, orange oil, wheat toast, chamomile and subtle hints of praline. Medium to full-bodied, bright and incisive, with lively acids and chalky structuring extract, it's an elegant, nicely concentrated rendition of a cuvée that I've always particularly enjoyed chez Ente. I suspect it will develop very nicely with some time in bottle. |
