Domaine Emmanuel Giboulot Bourgogne Blanc 2016
Emmanuel Giboulot is an exceptional winemaker with the true pedigree of a farmer. Domaine Giboulot's Pinot Beurot, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards cover 10 hectares across 12 parcels in Beaune, Côtes de Beaune, Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Rully and other appellations. Giboulot also produces two IGP from Sainte Marie la Blanche where his father began farming organically by 1975. As a founding charter member of Renaissance de Appellations/Return to Terroir, he is devoted to making wines that are true to their place while respecting a most rigorous ethics of viticulture and vinification.
The 2016 Bourgogne Blanc is a wonder of balance, from a vintage that scaled back from the warmth and body of '15 to yield more acidity and supple stone fruit. Beautiful minerality, a flinty nose, and a long finish.
