The 2017 Meursault villages from the Ente family is also lovely this year, and like the Bourgogne blanc, it is characterized by a bit more mid-palate amplitude in this vintage than is typical of this bottling. The nose wafts from the glass in a classic blend of apple, passion fruit, hazelnuts, iodine, chalky minerality and a nice touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and nicely mineral in profile, with very good concentration at the core, bright acids and a very long, nascently complex and energetic finish. This is a fine bottle in the making, but it will need at least a couple of years in the cellar to properly blossom before starting to drink with generosity. - JG

Aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, citrus oil, oatmeal, beeswax and fresh pastry introduce the 2017 Meursault Village, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping wine that's pure, precise and penetrating. More generous and textural than Ente's racier 2018 rendition, the 2017 is performing very well from bottle. (WK) - WA
