The 2023 Domaine Goisot Bourgogne Côtes d'Auxerre Blanc is a refined Chardonnay from the northern Burgundy village of Saint-Bris-le-Vineux, showing lemon, pear and ripe apple alongside white flowers, grapefruit, almond and fine chalky mineral notes. The 2023 vintage brings generous fruit and richness while retaining the lively acidity and mineral freshness that define the cooler Côtes d'Auxerre terroir. Biodynamic farming and naturally expressive winemaking help preserve the wine’s purity and sense of place.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with bright acidity supporting layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. Pear, green apple and grapefruit are complemented by white flowers, fresh almond and subtle hazelnut, while a fine chalky and saline mineral character provides tension and length. Gentle toasted and savoury notes add complexity through the mid-palate, balanced by a juicy, energetic freshness. The finish is dry, clean and persistent, with lingering citrus, mineral and orchard-fruit flavours.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers looking for a precise and mineral-driven Burgundy white with generous fruit and fine texture. It is approachable now, but the combination of acidity, concentration and mineral character should allow it to develop additional nutty and savoury complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Serve chilled with seared scallops, grilled whiting with lemon butter, oysters, roast chicken with fresh herbs, salmon gravlax, or roast veal with a light cream sauce.
