2019 Guilhem & J-Hugues Goisot La Ronce Saint-Bris Blanc, Burgundy

A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris, the 2019 Saint-Bris La Ronce is very pure on the nose, featuring apple blossom, frangipane, white tea and a touch of spice. The poised palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity and impressive depth. Quite saline on the finish. Give this another 12 months in bottle.

Biodynamic. Sauvignon Gris/Sauvignon Blanc. Today we offer our first two vintages of Goisot’s newest cuvée. It’s a field blend of the two Sauvignons, planted in the north-facing section of La Ronce (which qualifies for the Saint-Bris appellation). Guilhem planted the vines between 2012 and 2015 to craft an “old-style field blend like our grandparents used to make.” Fermented wild and raised in tank for 19 months, both wines are off-the-charts delicious. Some 10% of the juice is raised in earthenware amphoras, bringing a measure of savouriness that Guilhem appreciates, and plans to increase over the years.
