Benoit Ente Bourgogne Aligote 2017 AOC 0.75l

Benoit Ente Bourgogne Aligoté 2017 AOC 0.75l is a white wine made from vineyards in Burgundy, where the Aligoté grape expresses itself with a precise combination of fresh energy and minerality that lingers on the palate without forcing severity, offering a civilized and everyday tension. The Benoit Ente winery is born from the encounter between family tradition and a curiosity open to the present, a corporate identity built on care for the land, respect for the seasons, and a sober interpretation of each harvest, elements that have guided its growth to the point of making its production an integral part of the local wine scene. The production philosophy favors a measured approach: limited intervention, manual harvesting, slow processing, and controlled fermentation in containers that preserve the aromatic component, delicately refining the freshness without pushing towards excessive oak, and without artifices that obscure the purity of the fruit. This bottle possesses a distinctive character compared to other white wines from the region: linear cleanliness, minerally tension, and a flavor progression that invites another sip without tiring, maintaining a lightness that supports a variety of pairings. The stylistic characteristics are expressed narratively: on the nose, notes of green apple and lemon zest emerge, with hints of hawthorn and a subtle hint of almond, while on the palate, the texture is dynamic, with a savory character that balances fruity and stony notes, a subtle hint of salinity, and a minerality that lingers on the tongue. Within the producer's portfolio, this Aligoté serves as a balanced entry point: a gateway to Benoit Ente's poetics, capable of pairing light appetizers, baked fish, and vegetable-based dishes, offering a freshness that supports simple, everyday pairings while simultaneously preparing more complex sensory excursions. Choosing Benoit Ente Bourgogne Aligoté 2017 AOC 0.75l means relying on an authentic reading of the territory, interpreted with rigor and elegance, a wine that in the Benoit Ente range represents a stable and recognisable proposal, in line with the STELT positioning: essential, refined, authentic.
