Descrizione

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.

Winery history

Family-owned estate with deep roots in the vineyards of the Grand Auxerrois. Jean‑Hugues and his wife Ghislaine have led the business since the late 20th century, and today their son Guilhem, together with his wife Marie, is part of the management. 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. Winemaking with indigenous yeasts, moderate use of SO₂, and choice of ageing vessels according to the terroir and the age of the vines to seek the fullest expression of the soil.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards spread across the Grand Auxerrois, with parcels in the communes of Saint‑Bris‑le‑Vineux, Irancy and Chablis. Soils are typically Kimmeridgian—clays and marls that impart minerality and tension to the wines.
