Allen Meadows – There is plenty of sauvignon blanc character present on the airy, cool and attractively fresh nose. Once again there is fine volume and concentration to the punchy and beautifully delineated middle weight flavors that deliver fine persistence on the clean, dry, linear and mildly austere finale. This will need a couple of years of bottle age to round out but it should be lovely.

About This Wine

Sauvignon Blanc. Goisot's second, smaller volume Sauvignon hails from a single parcel of 1.3 hectares on Barrois limestone (a Portlandian-era limestone with large amounts of pebbles and silty clays). The Moury cuvée is a more peppery, spicy nose than the '15 Exogera Virgula which is a question of vintage as much as anything. Again, you find a far fleshier texture than you may expect of the varietal yet there also steely acidity and, with air, the wine becomes more and more saline, textured and mineral. There's grapefruit/mixed ripe citrus, crushed herbs and a delicious, chalky intensity. Vinified in tank only, on its lees and native yeasts.

Wines from Burgundy

A legendary wine region setting the benchmark for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay worldwide. In the Jurassic time period, the area was part of a vast, tropical sea. Over hundreds of millions of years, the seabed transformed into various layers of limestone, sandstone and clay soils that have entrapped the fossils of ancient sea creatures. These soils are the secret behind the zesty minerality that Burgundy wines are famous for.

Burgundy is probably the most terroir-centric wine region in France. Huge emphasis is placed on the specific vineyard, soil type, elevation, and angle of slope where the wines were made. This is reflected on the wine's labels where appellations are more prominently displayed compared to the producers’ names.

The most prestigious wines of the region come from a long and narrow escarpment called the Côte d'Or split into the Côte de Nuits to the north and the Côte de Beaune to the south. Côte de Nuits produces many of the world’s finest Pinot Noir’s, all but one of Burgundy’s red Grand Crus are made in this area. Whilst interestingly, the opposite is true for the Côte de Beaune where all but one of the Chardonnay Grand Crus are made. From this information it may seem you should be buying a Pinot from the North and Chardonnay from the south, that is only true for the pinnacle of Burgundian wines. Both outstanding reds and whites are produced throughout the Côte d'Or.

In Burgundy, they use a wine quality tier system that goes:
Grand Crus 1.4% of total production
Premier (1er) Crus 10.2% of total production
Appellations Villages 37.3% of total production
Appellations Regionales 51.1% of total production

When one refers to “Burgundy wines” they are usually talking about those produced in and around the Côte d'Or. While the Chardonnay’s from Chablis and the Gamay’s from Beaujolais are formally apart of the Burgundy wine region, those subregions are generally referred to by their own names rather than being considered “Burgundy wines”.
