Benoit Ente Bourgogne Aligote Antichtone 2021 AOC 0.75l

Benoit Ente Bourgogne Aligote Antichtone 2021 AOC 0.75l is a white wine that highlights the purity of the Burgundy terroir through Aligoté, a variety that takes center stage here, offering a simple and elegant protagonist. Produced in Burgundy, the wine displays a straw-yellow hue with greenish highlights, a sign of careful winemaking that preserves freshness and minerality. The meticulously selected 2021 harvest aims to retain the fruity character without giving in to unnecessary softness. The immediately vibrant palate is distinguished by a frontal acidic tension and a savory character that guides the long finish, ideal for light appetizers, steamed fish, and delicate seafood dishes. The aging process, carried out in neutral containers, creates a silky texture that doesn't weigh down, but supports a clean profile consistent with the Bourgogne Aligoté AOC designation.
