Benoit Ente Aligote Antichtone 2023

Benoît Ente’s Aligoté Antichtone 2023 is a fresh, characterful expression of Burgundy’s historic Aligoté grape. Crafted by a producer better known for precision-driven white wines from Puligny-Montrachet, it combines bright natural freshness with the mineral detail and texture associated with the Côte de Beaune.

Tasting Notes
Bright and pale in appearance, the wine opens with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, white flowers and subtle chalky minerality. On the palate, it is lively and precise, with crisp acidity balanced by a rounded, subtly textured mid-palate. Citrus and orchard-fruit flavours lead into a clean, saline finish, making the wine particularly refreshing while still offering depth. Enjoy it young for its energy, or allow it to develop added softness and complexity over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Burgundy from Aligoté, a traditional regional variety that thrives in the area’s limestone-rich soils and cool continental climate. The 2023 vintage benefited from a warm growing season, while careful vineyard work and restrained cellar handling preserve the grape’s characteristic freshness and mineral expression. Specific harvesting and élevage details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C. Its bright acidity makes it an excellent partner for oysters, mussels, grilled fish, sushi, goat’s cheese and fresh salads, while its texture also suits roast chicken and delicate cream-based dishes. Decanting is generally not necessary, although a short period of aeration in the glass can help reveal more of its subtle aromas.

Producer
Benoît Ente is a respected Burgundy producer based in Puligny-Montrachet, with a family background closely connected to the region’s celebrated white-wine tradition. His wines are valued for their purity, balance and expression of place, bringing the same thoughtful, terroir-focused approach to less conventional varieties such as Aligoté. Antichtone offers an opportunity to discover the grape through the lens of a highly regarded Côte de Beaune winemaker.
