Gouffier owns five and a half hectares of vineyard in the villages of Fontaines and Mercurey in Cote Chalonnaise. Historically it was run by the Gouffier family for generations until Jerome Gouffier handed over the reins to his close friend Frederic Gueugneau, formerly at La Chablisienne. Since 2011, Frrederic has brought about a new style of winemaking. They follow an organic philosophy to create wines that are modern and approachable but with all the style and panache of good Burgundy. They have created a collection of wines of outstanding originality, verve, and spirit.
The vineyard is based in Fontaine, in the Cote Chalonnaise. The climate is continental, with warm summers and cold winters. The vineyard has been sustainably farmed since 2011, with ploughing replacing weed-killers treatments have been significantly reduced. The vines are carefully managed between the spring and summer months to ensure optimal conditions for healthy, mature grapes at harvest time; with strict de-budding, leaf thinning, and tilling of the soil. The pruning method employed is the ‘Guyot Poussard’ respects the sap flow of the vine, reducing the serious consequences of pruning cuts and optimizes the vine’s health. The vines are grown in marly-chalk soils from the Jurassic period.
