- A delightfully crisp white wine with green apple flavours, a good weight from a touch of oak, and a wonderfully fresh, saline finish. It is an 'orange' wine with subtle tropical fruit notes enhanced by vanilla oak.
Gouffier owns five and a half hectares of vineyard in the villages of Fontaines and Mercurey in Cote Chalonnaise. Historically, it was run by the Gouffier family for generations until Jerome Gouffier handed over the reins to his close friend Frederic Gueugneau, formerly at La Chablisienne. Since 2011, Frrederic has brought about a new style of winemaking. They follow an organic philosophy to create modern and approachable wines with the style and panache of good Burgundy. They have created a collection of originality, verve, and spirit wines.

Winery | The vineyard is based in Fontaine, in the Cote Chalonnaise. The climate is continental, with warm summers and cold winters. The vineyard has been sustainably farmed since 2011, with ploughing replacing weed-killer treatments significantly reduced. The vines are carefully managed between the spring and summer months to ensure optimal conditions for healthy, mature grapes at harvest time, with strict de-budding, leaf thinning, and soil tilling. The pruning method employed is the ‘Guyot Poussard’, which respects the sap flow of the vine, reducing the serious consequences of pruning cuts and optimizes the vine’s health. The vines are grown in marly-chalk soils from the Jurassic period. |
