Goisot Saint-Bris Corps de Garde Blanc 2018

100% Fie Gris. A great vintage for Goisot, full of pristine ripe fruit and cut with tension. Ruby grapefruit, nectarine, fig, preserved lime and spice. Intense and full bodied, flecked with savoury spice, apple strudel and Victoria plum. Complex textural profile, supple and round, with an almost electric charge of chalk. Who said white Burgundy? Awesome stuff. Waters Wine Co

 

The 2018 Saint-Bris Corps de Garde has some of the most expressive and open aromatics of Goisot’s 2018s, featuring white peach, grapefruit, kiwi fruit and light fumé scents. The palate is beautifully balanced, with a waxy texture, expressing the Sauvignon Gris to full effect on its stem ginger and rhubarb-tinged finish. Seductive, but I would love to revisit it with bottle age. 93 points – Neal Martin, Vinous
