Lime and yellow plum in the nose of Ente's 2007 Meursault Clos des Ambres lead to a palate impression at once austere and adamantly mineral, but also refreshingly bright and saliva-inducing. Toasted almond and sunflower seed along with pungent citrus rind and a hint of smoke are suggested in the bright, treble finish of this wine that some tasters are apt to consider "Meursault Lite" or too lean a cut of its appellation, while others will relish its athletic trimness and energy. I suspect those who gravitate toward this wine will enjoy it for 4-6 years. Arnaud Ente began picking September 2, but although he is nearly always a partisan of early harvest, this one was spread out over nearly two weeks to optimize the aggregation of clarity and sufficient ripeness. That said, high acidity – including a sizeable share of malic acid – remained a common denominator and higher than in 2004 because, in Ente's words, "there was no heat during the summer to burn it off." His malo-lactic fermentations, however, were finished already in mid-winter. Natural alcohol levels were low – predictably, given both the vintage and Ente's strategy and preferences – not exceeding 12.5%, and only the Aliogte was chaptalized. For Ente, vintages without hot summer weather are simply the more interesting and enjoyable, thanks in large part precisely to their higher acidity and lower alcohol.
