Tasting notes
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.

A selection from En l’Ormeau. Vines more than 120 years old. Average yield under 30 hl/ha and the total quantity keeps decreasing. Light racking a month ago. Tank sample. Deep minerally spice and great depth of fruit. A very very slight reduction that enhances the mineral character. ‘I want it to disappear at bottling’, says Ente. ‘It’s fleeting. Reduction must be discreet.’ Salty, smoky, mouth-watering and with a core of fruit that only old vines can deliver. Deep in fruit without being fruity. Dramatic intensity without being showy. Mouth-watering. Power as in a coiled spring. Salty mineral finish. (JH)
