Harvested from a small 0.39 ha plot, with vines planted in 1990 on clay and limestone soils. Situated in Meursault but classified as Volnay Premier Cru for reds, Les Santenots du Milieu combines Volnay’s elegance with a bit of Meursault’s richness. Hand-harvested, and aged in up to 20% new French oak for twelve months, then six months in stainless steel.

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.
