Summary

+ Saint Bris - Domaine Clotilde Davenne 克洛蒂爾德·達文 產地：法國 類別： 白酒 葡萄品種：Sauvignon Blanc 酒精度：12.5% 容量：750ml A colour of shining goled clarity and an intense, mineral and fresh nose with aromas of grapefruit, mandarin and lychees. The wine has an exquisite balance between the exuberance of stone fruit, lemons, apples and pears and its minerality which in indicative of its terroir. A wine of great harmony and freshness. White wines exclusively - Sauvignon. Saint-Bris-le-Vineux is the only district in Bourgogne where the Sauvignon grape is grown. It is a vigorous variety producing compact bunches of small oval berries of a handsome gold colour when ripe, with thick skins and soft flesh. Grown on this burgundian terroir, it yields wines which are dry, light, fresh and throughly pleasing. Lying alongside the river Yonne in the heart of the Auxerrois region, Saint-Bris-le-Vineux is an old stone-built village beneath which are extraordinary medieval cellars, running everywhere, the most astonishing examples of their kind in Bourgogne. They cover 3.5 ha, 60 metres underground. The quarries at nearby Bailly supplied the building stone for the Pantheon in Paris. Saint-Bris is definitely worth a visit. The soils are derived from various Jurassic limestones ranging from Portlandian to Kimmeridgian. Alluvial soils and fossiliferous Lower Kimmeridgian limestone astartes are found alongside the river and at the foot of the marlylimestone slopes. The best situated plots are on the open hillside facing north, so maturation takes place under ideal conditions which favour the wine’s fruitcontent. This white wine made next door to Auxerre from the Sauvignon grape is often the colour of pale straw or light gold. Aromas are of citrus fruits (grapefruit, mandarin orange), peach, and crushed blackcurrant leaves with sometimes exotic scents (lychee). This complexity introduces a fruit which is full, flowery and tender, with a hint of salt and spice in the finish. Jammy and preserved-fruit aromas will appear as the wine ages. This is a wine that can be either enjoyed young or after having aged a few years.
