Benoit Ente Bourgogne Aligote Antichtone 2020 AOC 0.75l

Benoit Ente Bourgogne Aligoté Antichtone 2020 AOC 0.75l is a wine that reflects the understated elegance of the Burgundy terroir: an Aligoté from Bourgogne AOC, balanced between lively freshness and a subtle complexity that emerges without ostentation, ready to tell the story of a season and a working philosophy capable of enduring over time. The producer's history is rooted in a family tradition renewed by a contemporary vision: Benoit Ente has built a small business that views the vineyard as a living organism, where every stage of production is guided by observation of the terroir, the patience of fermentation, and an ethical approach to resource management. The company's identity is founded on the idea of ​​caress and precision: respect for the grapes, rigorous temperature control, minimal intervention, and attention to detail, with a focus on sustainability throughout the entire production cycle. The production philosophy emphasizes clean, natural winemaking, where the ingredients are transferred to the cellar with clear boundaries: fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks and a brief aging on the lees adds roundness without weighing down the wine. Antichtone's distinctive characteristics lie in the balance between fruit expression and a subtle minerality that emerges with citrus and green apple notes, navigated by a saline tension that accompanies the palate until the clean finish. Compared to other similar producers, Benoit Ente guarantees a clear interpretation of the terroir without resorting to artifice: the palate is direct, but not harsh, and the controlled acidity allows for elegant modulation with light dishes, appetizers, and seafood, while also offering a certain versatility in serving. Within the producer's portfolio, Antichtone often serves as an opening, a deliberate entry into the world of the Maison that prepares the palate for subsequent discoveries while maintaining an aesthetic coherence: it often evokes images of sunny vineyards, cool days, and precise work that respects the seasonality and fragility of the grapes. In line with STELT's positioning, this wine presents itself as a sober testimony to identity and quality: an informed choice for those seeking authenticity, discreet style and a premium presence without artifice.
