On the palate the wine is \u003cb\u003edeep, full-bodied, complex and beautifully soil-driven, with very refined mousse, bright acids, brilliant focus and superb length and grip on the zesty and very minerally finish.\u003c\/b\u003e While the 96 Cuve des Enchanteleurs is very tasty already, it is clearly still very early days for this lovely wine and there is no doubt that four or five years of additional bottle age will be richly rewarded. \u003cb\u003eSuperb juice. \u003c\/b\u003e(Drink between 2012-2035) \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e95 points.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"1\"\u003eStephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov\/Dec 2010\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont size=\"-1\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003e($185; a 50\/50 blend of chardonnay and pinot noir, all from grand cru vineyards) Vivid yellow-gold.

The highlight of the wine is the lovely concentration of bitter citrusextract mixed with yeast that leads into a long and lingering finish. This is really good stuffand has a long future ahead of it. The 96 Enchanteleurs has High A- (91-93) potential and\u003cb\u003eeasily places itself within the top 30 wines of the vintage. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA- and 91-93 points.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037333639407,"sku":"2944","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/henriot_enchanteleurs2000-LBL_13873e23-b9aa-44cb-8aaf-10c0d6422bbe.png?v=1772599085","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/1996-henriot-cuvee-des-enchanteleurs","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
