The 2020 Domaine Goisot Saint-Bris Corps de Garde Blanc is a beautifully distinctive and mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc from one of Burgundy’s most respected biodynamic estates. Produced in the small Saint-Bris appellation near Chablis — the only appellation in Burgundy dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc — the wine reflects the Goisot family’s meticulous low-intervention philosophy and the region’s limestone-rich terroirs. The nose reveals preserved lemon, grapefruit and green apple layered alongside white flowers, crushed chalk and subtle flinty notes, giving the wine remarkable lift and aromatic precision.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, layered texture and a tightly focused mineral core. Layers of citrus peel, orchard fruit and delicate herbal complexity are balanced by saline freshness and chalky tension, finishing long, dry and beautifully persistent with excellent freshness and terroir transparency. Careful élevage on fine lees adds subtle texture and depth while preserving the wine’s crystalline purity and energetic character.
