Jean Hugues & Guilhem Goisot, Les Mazelots, Irancy, 2017

Drinking Window: 2022 – 2029
Goisot, a top-notch producer of white wines in the Auxerre, also shows their talents with this red from nearly 100-year old vines planted in the Mazelots lieu-dit. Goisot says they don’t need César in this cuvée because the terroir provides plenty of structure. Though only a mid-weight wine, its bright cherry-like notes and a captivating minerality provides a big impact. This refined wine is just entering its drinking window, displaying a gorgeous texture and a not-just-fruit quality that Pinot Noir planted in the right place provides.
