Saint Bris Secret of Chablis

Nicholas Pearce presents a Sauvingon Blanc from Burgundy…

Domaine de Mauperthuis Saint Bris Sauvignon Blanc 2018

This is by far one of the coolest Sauvignon Blancs we have ever tasted.

Made next door to Auxerre, in the region of Chablis, it’s kind of a unicorn wine: in Burgundy, Chardonnay and Aligoté are generally the only white varieties allowed to be grown. However, Saint Bris is the exception!

This white Burgundy is made with 100% Sauvignon Blanc. It has aromas of citrus fruits like grapefruit and mandarin orange that jump out of the glass, followed by peach and crushed blackcurrant leaves with light exotic scents like lychee. This complexity on the nose follows through on the palate which is textured, soft and floral with a distinct minerality on the finish.

Saint Bris calls for oysters and seafood! It’s also a wonderful choice with herb-driven sauces over chicken and fish dishes or a spring inspired salad with fresh ricotta and peas. We also love pairing it with Vietnamese and Thai meals with lots of lemon-grass or kefir lime.
