Tasting Notes for 2023 Benoît Ente Clos de la Truffière

The wine opens with energetic aromas of crisp green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, and pulverized flint. Furthermore, delicate notes of toasted hazelnut, wet chalk, and sea spray emerge as the wine breathes. On the palate, laser-like acidity cuts through a beautifully textured mid-palate of fresh citrus. Consequently, the finish lingers with mouthwatering tension, stony grip, and profound saline purity.

Estate History and Heritage

Benoît Ente established his own domaine in Puligny-Montrachet in 1997, working closely alongside his brother Arnaud Ente. Specifically, Benoît transformed his winemaking style in the early 2000s, shifting completely toward high-acid, chiseled, and crystalline Chardonnays. Moreover, his vineyards are farmed organically with surgical parcel management.

Today, Benoît Ente’s tiny-production bottlings command global cult acclaim among the world’s top collectors. As a result, Clos de la Truffière stands as a benchmark of modern, unadulterated Puligny precision.
