Histoire du domaine
Arnaud Ente, the grandson of a winegrower, initially pursued a career in science before turning to viticulture. In 1992, he took over the vineyards of his in-laws in Meursault, where his father-in-law, Philippe Thévenot, was a winegrower. The estate was built up around these family-owned plots in the Côte de Beaune. Arnaud Ente subsequently expanded the business with his wife Marie-Odile, the daughter of a winegrower. The estate achieved organic certification in 2012, according to a professional profile published in 2019. Their son, Pierre Ente, who holds a BTS in viticulture and oenology, has joined the family business and is preparing to take it over. Arnaud and Pierre Ente are now involved in the vineyard work and cellar decisions. Since 2017, the estate has gradually introduced Wineglobe glass containers; the estate’s website states that, since 2023, these have been used for the vinification and ageing of white wines, as well as for the ageing of reds.
