Tasting

To the eye

A pale, crystalline gold colour, with silvery highlights and a brilliance that speaks of great purity.

Nose

A striking and exceptionally crisp bouquet. It bears Benoît Ente’s signature: a refined reduction (the crackle of a match) that fades to give way to Meyer lemon, vine blossom and flint.

Palate

The attack is lively, almost electric. The palate is crisp and well-defined, with a dense texture yet without any heaviness. It is a ‘laser-like’ wine, where the salty minerality takes precedence over the fruit, offering a sensation of rocky purity.

Pairing

A wine for fine dining. It’s simply magnificent with a scallop carpaccio, line-caught sea bass in a salt crust or lightly seared langoustines.

Aging potential

The 2021 vintage has a structural acidity that promises superb ageing potential. It will reach its peak between 2028 and 2038.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the frost-hit 2021 vintage a reason for caution here?

The description presents 2021 above all as a challenging vintage with very limited yields. The cool season translates here into vibrant acidity and great energy, so your choice depends more on your taste for taut white wines than on the difficulties of the year.

Does the advertised “verticality” mean this wine lacks substance?

No: the description does evoke substance, but it is stretched out by an acidic backbone rather than expressed through breadth and richness. Expect a slender feel, supported by a saline structure.

Does the minimal dose of sulfur mean this wine has no added sulfites?

No, a minimal dose does not mean that none has been added. This information alone also does not make it possible to determine how long the wine can be cellared or how it should be decanted.

Could its village-level classification disappoint me if I’m mainly looking for a long finish?

Persistence is actually one of the highlights of this cuvée. Despite its village-level classification, the description promises a remarkably long finish, carried by the acidic backbone; however, it does not provide a direct comparison with a premier cru.

Does “several-wine barrels” mean that several cuvées are blended together?

No: this expression refers to barrels that have already been used for several élevages, not to a blend of cuvées. Here, their use is intended to avoid masking the purity of the fruit: the élevage complements the wine’s expression rather than seeking to leave its mark.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
