- A refreshing yet textured wine with vibrant citrus fruits and a mouthwatering saline note combined with mouthwatering richness, it is charmingly crisp and refreshing. It is beautifully textured, with great purity of fruit and delicate oak spice through to a long, cleansing finish.
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.
This charmingly crisp and refreshing wine features vibrant citrus fruit complemented by a mouthwatering saline note. It is beautifully textured, with great purity of fruit and delicate oak spice, and it finishes with a long, cleansing finish.

| Winery | The vineyard is based in Fontaines, in the Cote Chalonnaise, where the vines are grown at 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; pruning, strict de-budding, and leaf thinning are undertaken by hand to reduce the yields. The vineyard is currently in conversion to organic status. |
