2019 Guilhem & J-Hugues Goisot Cotes d’Auxerre Le Court Vit Bourgogne Rouge, Burgundy

A little less width but the impression of cushioned silk to this dark, sweet fruit. Hmm – that’s super in the mouth – wide, fresh, cool-fruited. Slowly mouth-watering with delicious, delicious flavour. Great finishing again – they are babies these wines though.

Bill Nanson Burgundy Report

It has an attractive raspberry preserve, tayberry and peppermint-tinged bouquet that is full of vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, well-integrated oak and gentle grip on the finish. More reserved and less flattering than the Les Mazelots, this still conveys fine breeding and superb length.

Biodynamic. Single vineyard Pinot Noir. In the north of Saint-Bris, 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. With just 50cm of topsoil and a spring beneath the vines, water is easier to access, something Goisot credits for this wine’s generosity.
