Domaine Goisot Cotes d'Auxerre Gueules de Loup Blanc 2018 AOC 0.75l

Domaine Goisot Côtes d'Auxerre Gueules de Loup Blanc 2018 AOC 0.75l is a white wine born in the heart of Yonne, in northern Burgundy, where the well-exposed rows reflect a calcareous terroir, allowing a lucid minerality and a flavorful tension to emerge that accompanies the drink from the first sip, offering a luminous backdrop for a fruit that remains defined despite its elasticity, ideal for accompanying seafood appetizers, baked fish, or fresh and goat's milk cheeses, balancing delicacy and savory flavors. The history of Domaine Goisot is that of a family-run winery that has intertwined tradition, carefully cultivated fields, and a vision oriented towards agricultural practices that respect the soil; over time, the company has developed a philosophy based on minimal intervention, listening to the vineyard, and a targeted transformation of the grapes into wines that clearly speak of the territory, climate, and careful management of resources, without ever forcing the balance. The production philosophy focuses on a vinification process that favors the natural fermentation of indigenous yeasts and an aging process designed to preserve freshness, aromatic purity, and a dry mouthfeel that prepares for dignified drinking over time. Neutral containers and stainless steel tanks are used to maintain the fruity profiles, allowing the minerals to guide the olfactory and flavor perceptions without overpowering them, thus offering the palate a coherent finish. Among the distinctive elements is the combination of a particular soil structure, sun exposure, and agronomic management that favors low yields, controlled aromatic vigor, and a flavor reminiscent of the gravel of the riverbanks. These characteristics differentiate Gueules de Loup Blanc from other labels in the area and make this wine an example of a well-defined identity. A bright straw yellow in color, the nose opens with notes of ripe citrus, lemon zest, and white flowers, complemented by hints of white peach and a subtle flint. On the palate, it offers an elegant structure, with a distinct freshness, a precise minerality, a pronounced savory flavor, and a long finish that leaves a hint of restrained warmth. Gueules de Loup Blanc occupies a prominent place in the producer's portfolio as an authentic expression of the terroir, capable of accompanying convivial moments but also of withstanding moderate aging, proposing a dialogue between tradition and reassuring modernity. In keeping with the STELT positioning, this wine stands out for its simplicity and character, offering a serious interpretation of the terroir that rewards patience and care in the vineyard and invites a thoughtful, lengthy, and memorable tasting.
