  June 27, 2019 - Bourgogne and Village Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): Very good indeed, although I am not sure this justifies either the price or the reputation that it commands these days. It started with a really attractive nose - chalk and cream and white fruit, all lined with a nice flinty minerality. Lovely and very Meursault. The palate was drinking surprisingly well for a 2007, coming across soft and creamy at first, with a snap of red apple flesh, and then some gentle spice and a sprinkle of lemon peel. Very fleshy for a 2007, I even thought it was a little fat at first; with time though, a lovely spine of structure emerged from midst the fruit, with fresh kumquat acidity and a spine of steely minerality giving the wine a lovely sense of tension and balance all the way into a super Long finish. Excellent stuff, and drinking really well now. This clearly punched above its weight for a Meursault village lieu dit; but then again, its priced more than many Grand Crus today.

  June 7, 2017 - Very dense, deep and chalky. Has some sappy orchard fruits and a touch of baked apple. It is quite tight and unyielding at this stage.

  May 5, 2017 - A lost Friday afternoon gathering – Selosse, Cotat, Vatan, Ente, Red Burgs including 2011 Rousseau CSJ blind! (Blacksalt, Washington DC): Hedonistic yet precise and energetic nose displaying succulent orchard fruit, white peach, pear, lemon curd, lemon oil, honey, a hint of Coche like flint and sesame, saline and wet stone. Excellent concentration, dense, oily and rich yet pure, precise and energetic, bright acidity, incredibly mineral, and a long succulent finish. I am pleasantly surprise by the concentration and energy considering the vintage and this being a village wine.

  February 15, 2015 - Arnaud Ente’s 2007 Meursault ‘Les Petits Charrons’ had a huge whack of sulphur on release but now it has peeled back to reveal a gorgeous Meursault, crammed with exotic fruits and cut by lemon like acidity. It has a degree of restraint but possesses excellent power and balance is impeccable.

  November 11, 2014 - After 10 minutes in the glass some lovely fresh rockmelon and white peach fruits punch out from a sulphurous blanket. There's plenty of mineral action and plenty to like about it. You get decent volume for its level and great cut to the finish.
