J. Moreau & Fils Sauvignon de Saint Bris 2004

In the very heart of the Auxerrois region, Saint-Bris-Le-Vineux is a small village enjoying a long viticultural past. It is well-known for its spectacular underground quarry that once produced the stones used for the main monuments in Auxerre and Paris, and is today used as a huge cellar for the Cremant de Bourgogne.

The only Sauvignon grapes in Burgundy, which once was called "epicier," grow close to the village. The grapes are a typical Sauvignon varietal, at the border line between the Loire and Burgundy. The true quality of this wine was recognized in 1974 when it became a VDQS (Vin Delimite de Qualite Superieure). It should become an Appellation d'Origine Controlee in the coming months.

Crisp and clean; fruity with aromas of passion fruit and lemon. Refreshing and easy to drink. Showing good balance between fruit and acidity
