Puligny-Montrachet Nexe Flore 2016 - Benoît Ente

Tasting notes for the Puligny-Montrachet "Nexe Flore" 2016 - Benoît Ente

• EYE: This Puligny-Montrachet presents itself in our wine glass with a brilliant golden yellow color, a sign of its maturity. Its clarity and subtle reflections foreshadow a tasting experience as elegant as it is promising.
• NOSE: A complex Chardonnay bouquet, where delicate floral aromas harmoniously blend with characteristic buttery notes of the grape variety and subtle touches of vanilla. Mineral nuances complete this ensemble, emphasizing the unique expression of the terroir.
• MOUTH: The Nexe Flore reveals all its finesse and balanced structure. A lively attack unveils citrus flavors, closely followed by the richness of white-fleshed fruits and an elegant minerality. The creamy texture adds a pleasant tactile dimension, and the persistent finish attests to the quality of this specimen.

In short: Benoît Ente's Puligny-Montrachet Nexe Flore 2016 pulls out all the stops, with its golden robe, expressive nose marrying flowers, butter, and minerality, and its balanced palate oscillating between freshness and richness. This blended Chardonnay can be tasted now, but its aging potential extends over a period of 5 to 7 years, so there's no rush. Elevate this cuvée with dishes such as sole meunière, pan-seared scallops, veal blanquette, truffle risotto, or even a lemon meringue tart.
