Grape varieties and terroir

Made exclusively from Chardonnay, the Premier Cru La Goutte d'Or is grown on clay-limestone soils dotted with pebbles, promoting slow and even ripening. This terroir gives the wines remarkable density and unique aromatic complexity.

Tasting

Color: Bright pale gold, with subtle green highlights.

Nose: Complex and expressive, revealing aromas of ripe white fruits (pear, peach), toasted almond, and touches of honey and flint.

Palate: Full and generous, supported by a superb mineral structure. Long finish, with notes of dried fruits and candied citrus fruits.

Storage Potential

This Meursault La Goutte d'Or 2022 can be enjoyed from 4 to 5 years, but will reach its peak between 10 and 20 years, gaining in complexity and depth.

Food and Wine Pairings

Ideal with noble fish in sauce (sole meunière, monkfish with beurre blanc), shellfish such as lobster, but also poultry in cream sauce or mature cheeses (Beaufort, old Comté).

François Gaunoux

Located in Meursault, the Domaine Gaunoux, whether François or Michel, embodies a traditional, rigorous, and patient vision of Burgundy. The red and white wines are vinified for aging, without concession to modern trends or pronounced oak. Little present in the media, but highly respected by connoisseurs, their bottles age beautifully in the cellar.
