Still not worth the price but really great — 4 years ago
Very fruity, clean finish, acidic. — 5 years ago
Looked a little oxi when first opened, but it seemed to pull back in the glass. Some honey still, but the core of lemon fruit was so intense - lemon curd and peel all the way. White florals, musky wood, and a touch of spice too. Super salty finish and an acidity that keeps growing. Tasty! — 10 months ago
Deep ruby colour. Superb nose, both natural (varietal notes) and classic (breeding). The nose is really sexy! Semi-bodied gourmet mouth, giving pride of place to a high-flying vinification on modernity with the fruit ahead. This suggests their best on the most prestigious cuvées in the estate. A very beautiful expression of the Cabernet franc de Loire.
Robe rubis profonde. Nez superbe, à la fois nature (notes variétales) et classique (élevage). Le nez est vraiment sexy! Bouche gourmande demi corsée, faisant la part belle à une vinification de haut vol sur la modernité avec le fruit en avant. Ça laisse présager leur meilleur sur les cuvées plus prestigieuses du domaine. Une très belle expression du cabernet franc de Loire. — 2 years ago
Really pretty blend. Musty and mineral-y. Not too fruity, subtle tannins. Very nice. — 3 years ago
16/20 (89/100) Узнаваемый каберне фран. Аромат черешни, ежевики, чёрного перца и ментола. Довольно легкий и кислотный с мягкими танинами. Забродившие чёрные ягоды во вкусе. Симпатично. — 5 years ago
Tasty fruity weeknight....dry — 5 years ago
2022-3 winter. The previous bottle of this I had felt like the most overripe and in-Burgundy-like 2018 I’d tried, and by some margin. I figured some time might help, but have a growing suspicion that my cellar is too cold to really mature wines without multiple decades of wait. So…experiment time. I stored this for a couple of years in the basement but outside the cellar. It’s not a textbook environment, at least for the summer months. Lo and behold, this had loosened up a fair bit, with more expressiveness on the nose too. It was still riper and heavier than it needed to be but was good. Would it have been better with 30 years at 14 degrees? Perhaps, but it’s a near-academic question for me given the prices of burgundy these days. — a year ago
Curry spices, a little vegetal, great. — 3 years ago
Great, rich. Black cherry with some cinnamon. Bought at Mitsukoshi for ¥5,000. — 4 years ago
Dominant Pinot Noir, plus gamay and cot .. Light red wine, good minerality. tangy notes of berries, nice acidity, nice freshness. A wine with nuances typical of the Loire Valley. — 4 years ago
Plain, light, delicious. All forward red fruit. No wood left. No burn, just great with a Korean barbecue — 5 years ago
very mineral and precise. considering vintage, ripeness very much in check. light straw to slight greenish hue. no flinty reduction. Considered the top Ente bottling in 2016 (more so than La Seve du Clos). — 6 years ago

Ente and Coche are just simply in a league of their own in Meursault, and the 2017 vintage is killer tonight from the very first pour, wafting from the glass with deep layers of yellow orchard fruit, hazelnut, pastry cream and exotic spice. It is its texture that really stands out to me. Elegant and ever so satiny with racy acids and tremendous drive that carries all its flavors home with a mineral and saline laced finale. — 10 months ago
