FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do the three appellations in this Benoît Ente selection differ?

The 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay and the 2014 Bourgogne Aligoté carry two distinct regional appellations. The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet belongs to a village appellation, allowing you to explore a different appellation level within the same estate.

Is the 2014 Bourgogne Aligoté a variation of the 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay?

No, these two white wines differ in grape variety: Aligoté for the former and Chardonnay for the latter. Their vintages also differ, so comparing them does not allow you to isolate the effect of grape variety alone.

Can you choose the same Benoît Ente wine in both bottle and magnum formats in this selection?

No, each wine is offered here in just one format. The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet is presented in a 150 cl magnum, while the 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay and the 2014 Bourgogne Aligoté come in 75 cl bottles.

What food pairings would you suggest for Benoît Ente’s white wines with fish in sauce or a cheese platter?

The estate recommends fish in sauce and aged cheeses, particularly Comté and Époisses. These pairings apply to the general style of the wines; there is no information indicating a specific preference for any of the three cuvées with these dishes.

What aspects of Benoît Ente’s vineyard practices and terroir characterize its white wines?

The estate describes clay-limestone and limestone soils, as well as hand-harvesting, which allows for rigorous grape selection. Its white wines are described as delicate and fresh, with notes of white-fleshed fruit and white flowers, as well as a mineral dimension, without a detailed profile for each cuvée.
