Domaine Saint-Germain Saint-Bris Sauvignon Blanc 2023

This dry Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of honey and grass, medium acidity and a strong, sharp finish. Saint-Bris is the only AOC for 100% Sauvignon Blanc in Burgundy, but it makes sense, as Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume are just a short drive away.

Domaine Saint-Germain is located in the Bauges regional park at the foot of the steep Bauges Mountains, facing the Alps. The domaine has around 25 acres of vineyards on the south-facing slopes of the village, Saint-Pierre d´Albigny. From a family of vine growers, brothers Etienne and Raphaël Saint-Germain established their domaine in 1999. The two decided to dedicate themselves to building up a traditional Savoyard family vineyard and domaine. Recently, the helm was passed to the next generation, Louise, and while it seemed difficult to believe, the wines have gotten even better.

Like her father and uncle before her, Louise strives to produce honest and expressive wines. In the vineyards, they avoid the use of herbicides, practice careful selection of young vineyard parcels and grape varieties, limit yields and hand harvest. In the winery, they work traditionally, using minimum intervention between harvest and bottling. And while the Savoie abounds with good to great white wines, Saint Germain is producing some of the region's most compelling!
