WINE DESCRIPTION
Bernard Defaix Saint Bris Sauvignon is a delightful white wine produced by Bernard Defaix, a renowned winemaker from the Saint Bris appellation in Burgundy, France. This wine is made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in vineyards with unique soil features, including limestone and clay, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and fruitiness. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and aromatic, with notes of citrus, green apple, and white flowers. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light dishes.
