Biodynamic. Sauvignon Blanc. Exogyra virgula is the name of the comma-shaped limestone fossils of ancient shellfish that are so abundant in the soils of this part of the world. Kimmeridgian limestone of this kind brings a beautiful salinity and smoky freshness to the wines of northern Burgundy—a character we readily associate with Chablis and one we can also find in this wine.

The old vines that gift this wine are on north-facing slopes (170-200 metres above sea level) carpeted with exogyra virgula fossils. They are sélection massale vines (as opposed to clones), and this, combined with the pure limestone soils, the farming, and the cooler climate, results in a style of wine that has nothing in common with what we tend to associate Sauvignon Blanc within the west.

Reviews

“A calm, silky width of aroma the subtly mintly sauvignon fruit in support. Really perfumed fruit that moves you into the finish but lacks no width. Lovely energy in the finishing flavours too. I find this already delicious, Gulheim would wait 7-8 years on average – he’s particularly enjoying 2005 right now!”
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“The 2022 Saint-Bris Exogyra Virgula has a vivacious bouquet with lovely yellow plum and orange pith scents, and a hint of blackcurrant leaf in the background. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly honeyed texture, 􀀂ne acidity, green peas mixed with kiwi fruit and a dash of spice. Elegant and low-key towards the persistent, asparagus and nettled-tinged 􀀂nish. Distinctive.”
89-91 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
