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.

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!

This has an initially dusty nose with aromas of crushed stone, dried apple, grapefruit zest and blanched almond. It's medium-bodied with tangy acidity. Gently waxy texture. Drink now.

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.
