Domaine Bernard Defaix
Saint Bris Sauvignon
Saint-Bris, Côtes d'Auxerre, Burgundy, France
It’s like the love child between Loire and NZ Sauv Blanc. Tons of grapefruit, juicy, lemon grass, mineral. Interesting.

Feb 8th, 2018wine 🍷 is a process of endless discovery: here I always thought white #wine from Burgundy could only be from the Chardonnay and Aligoté grapes, and along comes this pretty "#SaintBris", located southwest of #Chablis and powered by the very unBurgundian Sauvignon Blanc. This Bernard Defaix is medium weight, citrusy, with just the right about of "green" and crispness. Find it and you will stump the most knowledgable Burghounds. #Burgundy 🇫🇷

I unfortunately didn't really get to appreciate this as we opened it with guests over and when running around. But from the sip or two I had it tasted like a nice Sauvignon Blanc. Refined, with some nice sophistication over something like a basic Pinot Grigio.

Dec 13th, 2024Nice, very clean. Nice clean nose too. A bit of citrus and apple. Not super interesting but a nice clean glass of white. The colder the better.
