Arnaud Ente Bourgogne Chardonnay 2016 AOC 0.75l

Arnaud Ente Bourgogne Chardonnay 2016 AOC 0.75l presents itself as a measured reflection on the potential of Chardonnay in Burgundy, a bottle designed for those seeking an unconventional interpretation of the terroir and a balance between elegance and everyday practicality. The context is that of a region where the gentle climate meets well-defined limestone soils, and where an artisan producer like Arnaud Ente works with obsessive attention to quality rather than quantity, selecting young or lesser-known vineyards capable of offering freshness and distinctive minerality. The Arnaud Ente story is that of a family winery that has chosen to express its terroir with transparency, refining techniques and ripening times according to the vintage and listening to the character of the most intimate parcels, with a view to continuity between past and present. The production philosophy is based on a direct approach: minimal intervention in the cellar, manual harvesting, careful monitoring of ripeness and the balance between acidity and richness of fruit; A fermentation that tends to maintain the grape's vibrant personality, followed by an aging that favors the balance between structure and aromas rather than a stubborn oak punch. Compared to other producers, the Arnaud Ente Bourgogne Chardonnay 2016 stands out for its transparency of the soil and the proper implementation of a process that respects the raw material: a mineral tension that acts as a common thread between aromas of citrus, green apple, and wildflowers, and a palate that reveals a creamy yet not overpowering meatiness, with a savory flavor that remains central to the finish. Within the producer's portfolio, this wine acts as a calling card: it is the gateway to a refined interpretation of white Burgundy, capable of pairing savory appetizers, delicate seafood dishes, or structured vegetable soups, always maintaining a line of understated elegance. Ultimately, this bottle embodies STELT's promise: precision, depth, and earthy authenticity, expressed without artifice but with the dignity of a region that knows how to wait for the right ripeness.
