La Burgondie Saint-Bris Sauvignon Blanc

Vinum Lector Staff — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 08:13:16 +0000

“La Burgondie” was the historical region of France that gave rise to the term Burgundy. The legendary little knight character that appears on the bottles truly captures the essence of La Burgondie. Courageous, confident and loyal. A forward-thinking, like-minded group of individuals who are fiercely proud of their Burgundian roots, their beautiful region and their wines. The same wines, produced using environmentally friendly farming methods, which are evocative of the hard-working co-operative-winemaker families who give their all, and have done so for generations. Sauvignon is only grown in Burgundy in the village of Saint-Bris-le-Vineux. The vines draw from soils dating from the Kimmeridgian period, like its prestigious neighbor Chablis located in Auxerrois, all the freshness and liveliness that characterize Saint-Bris.

Jean Pabiot et Fils Kiméride Pouilly-Fumé

Vinum Lector Staff — Fri, 30 Aug 2024 08:24:16 +0000

Son and grandson of Jean Pabiot, Alain and Jérôme manage the Domaine des Fines Caillottes within the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. The terroirs, mainly clay limestone, are therefore very varied: white limestone pebbles known as "caillottes", marl with small fossilized oysters (kimmeridgian) and flint. This diversity of terroirs gives the estate’s wines their aromatic complexity.

"Kiméride" comes from Kimmeridgian, the period of the geological formation of this terroir. This vintage is a selection of plots from this terroir whose limestone stones are dotted with fossils (ammonites, small oysters, etc.). This cuvée is produced only with the best vintages, and exclude grapes from young vines.

Richness, concentration, elegance and intense aromas of ripe fruit characterize this Pouilly-Fumé which expresses the quintessence of Sauvignon.

Certified TERRA VITIS (for the respect of the environment, Men and wines produced) and HIGH ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE (for the respect of biodiversity and the reduction of the inputs). For more info, visit Jean Pabiot et Fils website. VARIETALS 100% Sauvignon Blanc VINTAGE 2020 Download Tasting Note
