Goisot Saint-Bris Exogyra Virgula 2022

Sauvignon Blanc from parcels with Exogyra Virgula fossil oysters in the soil, ideal for seafood and shellfish.Exogyra Virgula is acidic and milimetrical. It has a golden colour with sparkling green reflections. On the nose, an intense aromatic expression of ripe fruit, citrus, pink grapefruit, mango, hawthorn, with a slightly iodized finish. On the palate, we find these very fruity notes on a background of minerality which gives it purity and finesse, a slightly white spice and cinnamon finish. This wine is pleasant at the beginning of a meal with seafood and shellfish, fish, veal rice puffs, cheese soufflé, goat's cheese, comté, emmenthal, munster and Roquefort. It should be enjoyed at 12/13° from a young age and can be kept for at least five years. Soil Upper Jurassic, middle and upper Kimmeridgian, alternating 80 metres of limestone and lumachellic marl.

Vinification Harvestingat the end of September and beginning of October, very ripe with some noble rot. 100% destemming, very slow pneumatic pressing, very long alcoholic fermentation at a temperature close to 25° in its first part to keep only the aspects of the terroir. Followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation on fine lees in vats.

Food and wine pairing: Raw fish and meat, goat cheese

SAINT-BRIS LE VINEUX, the northern gateway to Burgundy, shares with its immediate neighbour, Chablis, the particular geology, rich in limestone, which gives its wines purity and aromatic refinement.

For Ghislaine and Jean-Hugues Goisot, the quality of a great wine begins in the vineyard. Through viticulture and soil work that respect the environment, without using fertilisers, insecticides, weedkillers and synthetic chemicals, they stimulate the vine's self-defence, thus ensuring the best possible protection against problems caused by the climate or diseases. Controlled yields intensify the personality and taste of the grapes. Picking the grapes only when they are ripe, Ghislaine and Jean-Hugues GOISOT maximise the expression of the terroir, creating wines that embody the individuality and quality of each production site.
