No one but no one delivers more quality for the price than Goisot. The quality is flat out amazing, particularly given the modest appellations with which he works.

About The Wine
Fie Gris (Sauvignon Gris), a low yielding cousin of Sauvignon Blanc, had been all but abandoned in the Auxerre region but the Goisots believe firmly in the quality of the variety and their Biodynamically farmed Fie Gris vineyard is a rare delight.
Stone fruit and pithy grapefruit take the lead but there is earth, ginger and spice too. The texture is all Burgundy, simultaneously waxy and creamy with a long cool finish. Exceptional value and a joyful discovery for Burgundy lovers.
About Domaine Goisot
Guilhem Goisot is one of the rising stars of Burgundy, his family vineyards and winery located in the tiny Saint-Bris appellation, not far from Chablis.
Along with his father, the highly-respected Jean-Hugues Goisot, Guilhem is crafting some of the best value wines coming out of Burgundy at the moment. With a heavy focus on biodynamic farming, these wines from lesser-known Burgundian appellations are some of the hottest property in French wine today.
In fact, France’s leading wine guide, Revue du Vin de France’s Classement des Meilleurs Vins de France has Goisot rated higher than all but 2 other producers (both Chablis Cru producers), in the Yonne section of the guide.
If you want high-quality white Burgundy that won't destroy your bank account, these wines are a must-try.

From The Importer
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.
It’s always one of Burgundy’s leftfield gems, and Goisot has nailed this release.

Critic Reviews
“The 2018 Saint-Bris Corps de Garde has some of the most expressive and open aromatics of Goisot’s 2018s, featuring white peach, grapefruit, kiwi fruit and light fumé scents. The palate is beautifully balanced, with a waxy texture, expressing the Sauvignon Gris to full effect on its stem ginger and rhubarb-tinged finish. Seductive, but I would love to revisit it with bottle age.”- Neal Martin (Vinous)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
