Biodynamic. Single vineyard Chardonnay. Like any part of Burgundy, the Côtes d’Auxerre is a mosaic of small climats and vineyards. Goisot farms a mind-boggling 40+ individual parcels, with only the finest Chardonnay sites bottled individually. This cuvée is drawn from an old vine, single-hectare parcel in Les Biaumonts (pronounced like Beaumonts) at 250 metres above sea level. The vines here are between 40 and 50 years old, and the soils share a Kimmeridgian profile similar to Gueules de Loup. Biaumont has a sunnier, south/southwest aspect, and there is also more brown clay in the very rocky soil strewn with significant ammonite fossils (something that Goisot notes is unusual for this altitude).
