- An ‘orange’ wine with subtle notes of stone fruit and candied citrus, complemented by mineral nuances. Fresh and vibrant, with a lovely rich mouthfeel. They follow an organic philosophy to create modern and approachable wines with all the style and panache of good Burgundy. They have created a collection of outstanding originality, verve and spirit wines.
The Aligoté grapes were hand-harvested once they had achieved optimum maturity and were carefully selected. The grapes were very delicately transferred via a conveyor belt to the fermentation vessel to retain the fruit's integrity. They were then slowly and very gently pressed to extract the juice. Fermentation took place with selected yeast in old French oak at 20°C. The wine was matured on the lees for 12 months in 228 and 450-litre barrels, with malolactic conversion occurring in the spring. Working in partnership with their cooper, since the 2013 vintage, Gouffier has been experimenting with using oak from the state forests of Fontaine, just a few miles from the vines, endeavouring to stay true to the local terroir.
An ‘orange’ wine with subtle green tea and candied citrus notes, complemented by mineral nuances. Fresh, vibrant and richly textured with a remarkable saline and mouthwatering finish.

| Winery | The vineyard is based in Fontaines, in the Côte Chalonnaise, where the vines are grown between 200 and 300 metres above sea level. The climate is typical for Burgundy: continental, with warm summers and cold winters. The soils are limestone-clay, which produces wines of great finesse and complexity. The vineyard has been sustainably farmed since 2011, with ploughing replacing weed killers and copper and sulphur treatments used only when required. The vines are carefully managed between the spring and summer months to ensure optimal conditions for healthy, mature grapes at harvest time, with pruning, strict disbudding, and leaf thinning undertaken by hand to reduce yields. The vineyard is currently in conversion to organic status. |
