This strain of Pinot Blanc is in fact a spontaneous white mutation of Pinot Noir separated and planted in the 1930s. It is also known as Pinot Gouges or Pinot Musigny.
Just like the Domaine Henri Gouges Bourgogne Blanc, this white wine comes 100% from the Pinot Blanc cépage, called Pinot Gouges. This grape, stemmed from the Pinot Noir, was discovered by Henri Gouges, founder of the estate, during an inspection of his vines.
The La Perrière cru is produced, as its name implies, in an old stone quarry. We find here very rocky and chalky soils. This unique cru, as a result of its cépage and low production (41 ares), offers intense, complex and unusual wines. This wine is as confidential as fascinating.
2021, a rather classic Burgundy vintage. The grape maturation happened in fresher weather conditions than in recent years. Following the spring frost, yields are low at the Domain, with an average of 25hl/ha.
