The 2020 Domaine Goisot Bourgogne Côtes d'Auxerre Le Court Vit Rouge is a beautifully vibrant and mineral-driven Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most respected biodynamic estates outside the Côte d’Or. Produced from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards near Saint-Bris and Irancy in the Yonne, the wine reflects the Goisot family’s meticulous low-intervention philosophy and the limestone-rich terroirs of the Auxerrois. The nose reveals wild strawberry, red cherry and cranberry layered alongside violet, crushed herbs and subtle earthy spice, giving the wine impressive lift and aromatic precision.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a finely etched mineral core. Layers of bright red berry fruit, savoury spice and delicate earthy complexity are balanced by chalky freshness and supple texture, finishing long, energetic and beautifully persistent with excellent transparency and finesse. Careful extraction and restrained oak usage preserve the wine’s purity and freshness while allowing the cool-climate character and limestone tension of the site to shine through clearly.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2020 Domaine Goisot Bourgogne Côtes d'Auxerre Le Court Vit Rouge is a superb cool-climate Burgundy Pinot Noir — fresh, mineral and beautifully expressive with outstanding energy and finesse. Perfect with roast chicken, duck, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or lighter game dishes. Enjoy now or cellar comfortably through 2033+.
