2020 Guilhem & J-Hugues Goisot Cotes d’Auxerre Le Court Vit Bourgogne Blanc, Burgundy

Here there’s more oak in the (aromatic) discussion – rounder but engagingly with citrus-tinged minerality too. Cool, beautiful over the palate – shape, mobility – almost fluidity. I’d leave this in the cellar for 2 years to lessen the visibility of the oak but what a great finish. Bravo.

Bill Nanson Burgundy Report

A more reserved profile and a little smoke, with expressive fruit and restrained maturity. Its pretty chewiness gives it substance and persistence.

Biodynamic. Single vineyard Chardonnay. Le Court Vit has been in the family for centuries, but the vines were ripped out 60 years ago, and the land was given to an uncle. Around 15 years ago, Guilhem repurchased it and replanted mostly with Chardonnay, alongside 30% Pinot Noir, as would have been the case in olden times. This rocky vineyard is exposed southwest on a Kimmeridgian slope overlain with white clay in the Chardonnay parcel and brown clays for the Pinot. 2017 was the first vintage, and in the scheme of Goiost’s single vineyard Chardonnay’s, it sits stylistically between Biaumont and Gueules de Loup.
