Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Unwinding in the glass with aromas of white peach, pear, dried white flowers, nutmeg and toasty reduction, the 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Truffière is medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with a deep, layered core, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. Pure and chiseled, it's a brilliant white Burgundy from Benoit Ente.
About the Producer
Benoit Ente is a Burgundy winemaker based in Puligny-Montrachet. He is best known for white wines from that appellation, made from the Chardonnay grape variety. The domaine farms about 20 vineyard parcels covering around 6 hectares (15 acres). Fruit is picked by hand into small baskets to transport intact to the press. In the cellar, individual component wines are stored in tank or in barrel for 12 months. The wines are then blended and matured for another six months. Use of oak and percentage of new oak varies. All wines are bottled without filtration.
