Let’s talk about Saint-Bris Exogyra Virgula - Guilhem et Jean Hugues Goisot

More questions

The Saint-Bris Exogyra Virgula, produced by the renowned winery Guilhem et Jean Hugues Goisot, stands out in the landscape of French white wines for its unique character. Located in Burgundy, an area famous for its exceptional wines, the Goisot winery is known for its commitment to quality and organic viticulture.

This wine is particularly notable for being one of the few examples from the region of Saint-Bris permitted to use the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. Unlike the more common Chardonnay from Burgundy, the Saint-Bris Exogyra Virgula offers a vibrant and fresh aromatic profile, with hints of citrus, aromatic herbs, and a subtle minerality that reflects the unique terroir from which it originates.

On the palate, the wine is lively and well balanced, with an acidic freshness that makes it extremely pleasant and drinkable. Its structure and complexity make it suitable for a wide range of culinary pairings, from fish dishes to goat cheeses, and even dishes based on green vegetables.

A wine that not only represents the excellence of Burgundy viticulture but also offers a distinctive taste experience, the Saint-Bris Exogyra Virgula is an excellent choice for those seeking a sophisticated white that is different from the usual.

The story
Family-owned estate with deep roots in the vineyards of the Grand Auxerrois.

The estate’s website highlights the vineyard’s long-standing presence in the area and the transmission of family know-how across generations.
Production philosophy
Vineyard and cellar work oriented toward respect for the living world: managed under certified organic agriculture and biodynamic practices.

Terroir and vineyards
