Biodynamic. This house favourite is made from Fié Gris (aka Sauvignon Gris). Fié Gris used to be a much more commonly planted variety around Auxerre, but its fickle, low-yielding nature (on average it yields 35-40% less than Sauvignon Blanc) sealed its fate. Luckily for us, the Goisots have persevered and today, their old vines of Fié Gris flourish in the rich, red-brown clay and limestone soils of the Côte de la Canne, Cornevin and Moury vineyards.

Unlike the Sauvignon Blanc wines, this bottling was partly fermented and raised in old 500-litre barrels. It’s always one of Burgundy’s leftfield gems, and Goisot has nailed this release.

It’s always one of Burgundy’s leftfield gems, and Goisot has nailed this release. The 2019 opens with pungent aromas of zippy citrus, white fruits, some subtle herbaceous tones and enticing savoury scents. On the plate, it is fresh and saline, with ripe citrus flavours, pitch-perfect acidity, textural prowess and a phenolic nip to close. It will match brilliantly with a variety of seafood and white meat dishes.
