Domaine Goisot

The Domaine Goisot in a few words...

Le domaine Goisot is located in Saint Bris le Vineux, in northern Burgundy, not far from Auxerre. The domaine produces white wines in AOP Saint-Bris, Côtes d'Auxerre and, more recently, Chablis. The reds are AOP Côtes d'auxerre and Irnacy.

For Ghislaine and Jean-Hugues Goisot, who run Domaine Goisot, the quality of a great wine begins in the vineyard. Early on, they chose to work without chemicals, using biodynamic methods to obtain the finest expression of terroir in the grapes.

The Domaine Goisot produces great white and red wines at reasonable prices. The style of Domaine Goisot wines is unique: crystalline, always very clean and elegant. Domaine Goisot's Pinot Noirs have never been so charming, and the whites are unfailingly consistent. The last few vintages have been complicated in terms of volumes, with production very limited due to frost and hail!

Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2019, domaine 2 étoiles a propos du domaine Goisot: For many years, Ghislaine and Jean-Hugues Goisot, and now their son Guilhem, have impressed us with the unfailingly consistent quality of their production. Admittedly, they only vinify wines from the regional Burgundy appellation, but with such exacting standards that these modest cuvées achieve very high quality. To achieve this, they work long and hard to obtain the finest grapes (certified biodynamic), which they then carefully vinify. The beautiful chalky terroirs of the Côtes d'Auxerre are equally well-suited to Sauvignon (Saint-Bris) and Chardonnay, although they often produce wines that are too thin due to excessive yields. At Goisot, it's the other way around: the wines' intensity and staying power make them worthy of being cited as examples.
