J. Moreau et Fils Saint Bris 2024 · Burgundy, France
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.
Varietal & Origin
This wine is made from Sauvignon Blanc, a notable exception in Burgundy. 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, and today 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. Its high quality was first recognized in 1974 with the VDQS (Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure) appellation, and again in 2002 when it was awarded AOC status. On the left bank of the Serein River, 15 kilometres south-east of Chablis, the vines grow on clay-limestone soils.
Producer
In 1814 Jean-Joseph Moreau, a young cooper, married a local winemaker’s daughter and inherited the oldest wine House of Chablis. Driven by passion for the vine and traditional values, he successfully ran the business and quickly became one of the most important producers of wine in Chablis, a pioneer in the region whose success continued to rise. Over the years, J. Moreau & Fils established itself on the international market and became a prestigious House, successful worldwide.
