Antichtone is a cuvée made from the Aligoté grape variety, combining three plots, two of which were planted by the grandfather in 1949 and 1953, and a third planted by Benoit in 2002. In order to control production and preserve the balance of the grape variety, pruning is exclusively done using the Royat cordon system.
Benoit Ente is the younger brother to Arnaud Ente, one of the greatest chardonnay producers in the world, but if he continues on his current trajectory he won’t be known as the “other” Ente for long.
While Benoit has been making wine since the late 80s, it wasn’t until 1997 that he was able to acquire his own vineyards. He inherited less than 4 hectares almost exclusively in Puligny‐Montrachet, as well as small plots in Chassagne‐Montrachet and Meursault.
