The first records of Domaine Goisot date back to the 14^th century in the village of Saint Bris le Vineux in the Yonne department, in northern Burgundy. The estate covers 30 hectares across the communes of Saint Bris, Irancy, and Chablis.

In 1979, when Ghislaine and Jean-Hugues took over the family estate, working with respect for their land was very important to them. Certified Ecocert since 2001 and Demeter since 2005, Guilhem and his wife Marie have continued this philosophy.
The vines are planted at 10,000 vines/hectare instead of 4,500 to 7,000 vines/hectare, which is common in the Yonne. This choice pays off as they obtain more complex and smaller grapes, but with better maturity. Indeed, the choice to increase density promotes competition between the vine stocks. If treatment is necessary, they use 100% natural products (rock powders and plant decoctions...). Similarly, to stimulate soil life, they choose to spread humus on certain plots without ever using fertilizer. This approach is applied all the way to the bottle. Their approach is entirely dedicated to producing authentic and healthy wine for both humans and nature.

Domaine Goisot has today become a benchmark in Burgundy wines, produced biodynamically, creating vintages of exceptional consistency each year. Unfortunately, difficult years have followed one another with fierce frost episodes in this area. Despite everything, their wines remain pure, linear, and each terroir is represented with great sensitivity in the bottle. The small yields imposed by Mother Nature do not allow for large volumes year after year for this small estate, and we are very proud to represent them.
