Saint-Bris La Préférée

Saint-Bris La Préférée

To the eye, its pale gold colour reflects the purity of the terroir from which it comes, a Jurassic Portlandian.

The nose exudes a fine, delicate minerality typical of the region.

Exotic notes (passion fruit, lychee), citrus fruits (grapefruit) and floral notes of acacia mingle.

    Detailed description

    On the palate, it offers a fine balance between delicacy and liveliness, with a lingering, fine finish.

    Food and wine pairings: Goat's cheese, curry, sea bream ceviche.
    It should be drunk young, between 8 and 10°C, but can also be kept for a few years to gain in roundness and complexity.

    This is a wine that will appeal to connoisseurs of quality wines looking for an original and refined discovery.

    This is a Sauvignon Blanc.
    Often light gold, brilliant. This is a stone's throw from Auxerre.
    Saint-Bris has notes of citrus (grapefruit, tangerine), peach and crushed blackcurrant leaves. Sometimes accompanied by exotic nuances (lychee), this complexity leads to a full, floral and tender fruitiness tinged with a spicy, iodised finish.
    With age, it develops aromas of jam and candied fruit. Enjoy it young or after a few years.

    Vinification and ageing:

    After harvesting at optimum ripeness, de-stemming, sorting, skin maceration for a few hours and pneumatic pressing, vinification is carried out Spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are controlled at low temperatures, ageing is carried out for 8 to 12 months before fining, filtration and bottling.

    Terroir:

    In the heart of the Auxerrois vineyards and on the banks of the Yonne, Saint-Bris-le- Vineux, an old stone village, rests on extraordinary medieval cellars, the most astonishing in Burgundy: they run under the whole country. Added to this are the old Bailly quarries (the stone of the Pantheon in Paris), 3.5 hectares of cellars 60 metres underground!
    Saint-Bris is well worth a visit.
