Awards/Ratings
No single major international critic score located for the 2022 Bourgogne Blanc cuvée; Domaine Benoît Ente receives strong reviews for its village and premier-cru Chardonnays from sources such as Burghound and respected Burgundy merchants

Tasting Note
Crisp, precise Chardonnay showing lemon zest, green apple, white flowers, and crushed-stone minerality. Bright acidity and saline drive, subtle integrated oak, almond and stone-fruit notes; long, focused finish.

Food Pairing
Western: oysters, grilled/roasted white fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta, mushroom risotto, soft cheeses (Comté, goat). Asian: sashimi/sushi, tempura, Vietnamese spring rolls, mild Thai green curry, Chinese/steamed white fish with ginger and scallion.

Production Method
Sustainably farmed (organic practices), hand-harvested; native-yeast fermentation in French oak (portion new) with élevage around 12–18 months in wood and neutral vessels; minimal intervention winemaking.

Vineyard Info
Small family domaine based in Puligny‑Montrachet. Benoît Ente works with mainly older Chardonnay vines on limestone soils, low yields and careful viticulture focused on purity and terroir expression.
