L’aubaine Saint-Bris Sauvignon
This wine called “L’Aubaine” (The Windfall) is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, a notable exception in Burgundy.
Wine Production
Grapes and must are harvested and pressed, followed by static settling of the juice. Fermentation for 7 to 10 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to bring out all the fruit and character of the Sauvignon grape variety. 100% malolactic fermentation, aged on lees for 4 months to add complexity and enrich the wine.
Tasting Notes
Golden with intense aromas of lychee, blackcurrant and exotic fruit. Luscious and tangy on the palate. Notes of yellow-fleshed fruit and a refreshing touch of minerality.
Food Pairing
Drink as an aperitif or with oysters, seafood and fish. Also perfect with white meats.

About the Vineyard
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. On the left bank of the Serein River, 15 kilometres south-east of Chablis, the vines grow on clay-limestone soils.
