Father and son team Jean Hugues and Guilhem Goisot are fanatical about their certified biodynamic vineyards located in the Yonne region of France (south west of Chablis). Leading authority on Burgundy. Allen Meadows of Burghound said “No one but no one delivers more quality for the price than Goisot. The quality is flat out amazing.. ”
2009 was a wonderfully warm vintage so this Pinot Noir from 97 year old vines comes up trumps! Lifted aromatics of lavender and other Provençal flowers along with small red fruits and spice. In the mouth there is a gorgeous. pulpy texture and a lovely fine. fresh finish. This is 1er cru quality for a fraction of the price. 25% whole bunch.
Here there is some evident. if subtle. wood influence but not enough to compromise the attractiveness of the notably ripe red cherry. raspberry and warm earth aromas. The very rich. round and delicious medium bodied flavors possess even more volume and the textured mouth feel is attractive. all wrapped in a sappy. intense and again only mildly rustic finish that is supported by phenolically ripe structural elements. A very serious Irancy that is built to reward moderate cellaring. ” 90 points Burghound.
