Description

Saint Bris is one of a kind in Burgundy. Obviously not made from Pinot Noir or Gamay, nor is it made from Chardonnay. The grape variety is Sauvignon which is usually found a few kilometers away in Sancerre. The nose boasts very distinctive and expressive notes of blackcurrant bud and leaf, of broom and box-tree. When young an exotic side may appear with litchi aromas. the terroir and its minerality are of course still present.
