Situation
The location of the Saint-Bris vineyards allows the Sauvignon grapes to fully express their range of aromas and the minerality of the soils. They are often planted in colder areas in order to enable a slow ripening and therefore the best expression of the vineyards' strong character.
Tasting and food pairings
This wine has a pale straw colour and its lively aromas are characterised by the scent of bruised blackcurrant leaves. It also has aromas of exotic fruits, freshly-cut grass and citrus fruits. It has a good structure with a fruity length.
Best drunk young, as an aperitif or with fruit-based deserts.Press reviews

More open depth of aroma with a faint mint. Some gas - open and with a nice energy. The finish of this is more intense and interesting. This is delicious. (Uk, March 2024)

- Saint-Bris Sauvignon 2021 - Burgundy Report Bill Nanson - February 2023
Broad and fresh aromas - actually quite floral too. Direct and mineral - this is a wine with a modest mineral austerity with gooseberry fruit and good acidity. I like the shape and style of it - it's very good. It's a less ripe vintage - more Nordic!
- Saint-Bris 2021 - James Suckling - 89 ptsFruity white with notes of gooseberries, green apples and grapefruit. Creamy and fresh, with a medium body and easygoing, stony finish. Drink now.

Featuring a bright nose of butter, apple, peach, and citrus, this wine presents brie rind and apple upfront, with lemon juice, dried stone fruit, and a finish of goat cheese, lemon peel, and tart brioche.(USA, June 2024)

- Saint-Bris Sauvignon 2018 - USA Wine Ratings - August 2021- Bronze Medal
A zesty nose, that has notes of ripe and juicy citrus and a fruit salad aroma. The wine is tropical on the palate with nuances of guava and pineapple.
