This Bourgogne rouge smells like wild cherries. Amazing, delicate, pure Burgundy aroma, grown on limestone soils. Light and fresh. The price is amazing. $14 quality Burgundy is generally a thing of the distant past. This refreshing red is appropriate for Farm to Fork Weekend for a variety of reasons. The Goisots are a family who grow small parcels of grapes in a region where viticulture has been on the wane for over a century. They keep alive quality winemaking in a town that has become an asterisk in France's vinous history, a place blessed by the same soils that underpin Sancerre and Chablis. All the wines at this estate are certified Biodynamic by Demeter. I met the Goisot kids in France in January. It is important to me that 3CUPS sells wine made by real farmers, that we aid in the sustainability of traditional farming communities and help hardworking small-scale grape growers prosper.
