Sauvignon Gris. This Bibendum favourite is made from Fié Gris (aka Sauvignon Gris). Fié Gris used to be a much more commonly planted variety around Auxerre. Its fickle, low-yielding nature—on average, it yields 35 to 40% less than Sauvignon Blanc—sealed its fate, and it is now found in very few vineyards. Luckily for us, the Goisots have persevered, and their old vines of Fié Gris today flourish in the rich, red and brown clay and limestone soils of the Côte de la Canne, Cornevin and Moury vineyards. Unlike the Sauvignon Blanc wines, this bottling was partly fermented and raised in old 500-litre barrels. It’s always one of Burgundy’s leftfield gems.

Reviews

“Grown at mid slope with more clay, all sauvignon gris which copes with the heat better. Clear crisp lemon and lime. Fresh yet with an evident sense of white fruit concentration. Massive intensity here, a little citrus to finish, slightly spicy and fuller bodied. The Corps de Garde is currently showing youthful bitterness, and amazing length.” Five Star Wine
91 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“A more direct nose, more airy and fresh. Incisive, clean, more overtly mineral wine. The finish is extra-wide and with a lift of intensity. Always pure and attractive. Bravo.”
