The 2020 Domaine Goisot Bourgogne Côtes d'Auxerre Le Court Vit Blanc is a beautifully precise and mineral-driven Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most respected biodynamic estates outside the Côte d’Or. Produced from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards on limestone-rich slopes near Saint-Bris and Auxerre, the wine reflects the Goisot family’s meticulous low-intervention philosophy and the cool-climate freshness that defines the region. The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple and white peach layered alongside white flowers, wet stone and subtle hazelnut notes, giving the wine impressive lift and clarity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, silky texture and a tightly focused mineral core. Layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate savoury complexity are balanced by saline freshness and chalky tension, finishing long, dry and beautifully persistent with excellent precision and terroir transparency. Careful élevage on fine lees contributes subtle texture and depth while preserving the wine’s crystalline purity and energetic character.
