The Saint-Bris Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) is situated in the iconic Burgundy region of France. Unique among Burgundy appellations, Saint-Bris is distinguished by the exclusive use of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris grape varieties, offering white wines of exceptional freshness and liveliness.
The wines from Saint-Bris reveal intense aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, and occasionally exotic fruits, characterised by a delightful minerality thanks to the typical limestone soils of the area. Their natural acidity and balanced structure make them ideal companions for seafood, summer salads, and goat's cheese.
Historically little known, the Saint-Bris appellation is gaining popularity among wine enthusiasts seeking distinctive flavours and authentic terroirs. For wine cellar owners, incorporating bottles of Saint-Bris into their collection can add a surprising and refreshing element.
In optimising wine cellar management, this Burgundy appellation is decisively positioning itself as a rising star, bringing diversity and new energy to both private and professional cellars. For wine lovers, discovering and savouring a Saint-Bris is an essential taste adventure.
