(1/2017) If you have not yet had a wine from the talented Benoit Ente, then it’s time to get your feet wet with this outstanding entry-level Bourgogne rouge. Checking in at only 12.5% abv, the style of Ente’s wines is one of restraint but there is no shortage of elegance or complexity. Still youthful, the wine is a bit tight upon first opening, but as time goes by this gorgeous Pinot Noir opens up and reveals layers of dried cherries, strawberry, dried leaves, subtle smoke, forest mushrooms and minerality.Two small parcels, totalling .52 hectares, comprise the blend for this tiny production Pinot. Enjoy it now with seared tuna loin, baked salmon or roast pork, but make sure to stash a few bottles away to try in a few years.
