Goisot 2022 Côtes D'Auxerre Chardonnay

This white Burgundy from Guilhem and Jean-Hugues Goisot is a fantastic showcase of chiseled style of Chardonnay from Auxerre, akin to a great village-level Chablis. In reality, it often outperforms wines from neighboring Chablis, especially at this price-point. Their organic and biodynamic vines are now a staple of the region with four generations working the land by hand. The vines for this Chardonnay are 15 to 20 years old , and the wine is fermented and raised in stainless steel tanks, and bottled carefully to retain as much of the purity and precision as possible. This delicious Côtes d'Auxerre is a great value for a complex, intriguing, and mineral-driven Chardonnay. -Elena Angerman
