J. Moreau et Fils Saint Bris 'L'Aubaine', 2023, 750ml
$25
Description
At the heart of the Auxerrois region, the old wine-producing village of Saint-Bris-Le-Vineux is known for its spectacular underground quarries at Bailly which once supplied stones for construction in Auxerre and Paris. Today it is the Mecca of Crémant de Bourgogne. The only Sauvignon grapes in Burgundy, once called “épicier”, are harvested here. The wine is typical of its varietal and marks the transition between the wines from the Loire and those from Burgundy.
A lovely golden colour. Intense aromas of lychee, blackcurrant and exotic fruit.
Luscious and tangy on the palate, with aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit such as pineapple and a refreshing touch of minerality.
