Benoit Ente Puligny Montrachet 2018 AOC 0.75l

Benoit Ente Puligny Montrachet 2018 AOC 0.75l is a white wine that expresses, without frills, the precision of Puligny-Montrachet in the glass: it comes from select parcels in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, where the limestone soil and generous light define a profile of extraordinary cleanliness, tension, and refinement. The 2018 vintage, balanced between ripeness and freshness, allows the grapes to express a clear minerality that sustains the vital function of the wine over time. The story of the producer, an artisanal company with deep family roots in the Burgundy region, is told through manual care and a careful study of the vineyards: a constant search for a balance between elegance, discreet power, and aromatic persistence, without forcing or invasive interventions. Benoît Ente's production philosophy emphasizes discreet yet rigorous work, enhancing the yield of the crus with an aging process that prioritizes precision and harmony: controlled fermentations in neutral containers and a period of maturation that ensures smoothness on the palate without losing the verticality typical of this appellation, all aimed at preserving the integrity of the fruit and the saline note that defines the personality of the wines from this area. Compared to other similar producers, the true uniqueness of this wine lies in the balance between crisp refinement and clear minerality: a citrus finish, notes of lemon zest, green apple, and a hint of menthol emerge spontaneously, accompanied by a texture of white fruit and elderflower, with a savory palate and a tension that invites attention while remaining restrained. Within the producer's range, the Puligny Montrachet 2018 occupies a prominent position as a vehicle for identity: it represents a key component of the white wine line, capable of opening a tasting with style and of aging with care, offering evolution and depth over time. It is designed for those seeking a wine with character, capable of accompanying seafood appetizers, baked fish, and lightly matured cheeses, offering a complex yet elegant backdrop, in line with the STELT positioning.
