Chassagne-Montrachet Les Houillères 2020 - Benoit Ente

This 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Houillères is a Burgundy white wine produced by Domaine Benoît Ente from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Les Houillères vineyard in Chassagne-Montrachet, in the Côte de Beaune. The 2020 vintage reveals an expressive nose with aromas of citrus, white-fleshed fruit and yellow fruit, accompanied by toasty and slightly roasted notes. On the palate, this 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet offers a full-bodied and creamy mouthfeel, with an almost milky texture supported by lovely acidity that brings freshness and balance. Benoît Ente’s meticulous approach – involving hand-harvesting and ageing in barrels and vats – preserves the tension and purity of Burgundian Chardonnay whilst highlighting the character of the Houillères terroir. Served at around 12°C, this Chassagne-Montrachet white wine is the perfect accompaniment to shellfish, fish, curried prawns, poultry in cream sauce or mature cheeses. This 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Houillères will appeal to lovers of great Burgundy white wines, Côte de Beaune Chardonnay and the distinctive cuvées from Benoît Ente.
