A quote that seems correct from my memory:
St Bris (formerly Sauvignon de St Bris). St Bris is one of the best Côtes de Auxerre villages and the vineyards for the Sauvignon are very similar to the Petit Chablis vineyards being mostly north facing and on Portlandian limestone. - This is a very good use for them, and I have to say that I have much more time for Sauvignon de St Bris than I do for Petit Chablis. Much, even most Sauvignon de St Bris goes through at least partial malolactic, and some is barrel fermented. The wines of St Bris are much improved recently. It used to be a poor man's Sancerre, now it is just stylistically different, and it's still good vale.
I'm smitten with this wine because of its Sauternes-like characteristics without the syrupiness....sweet, subtle, crisp
Crisp - yes, the rest - What ??? St Bris with Sauternes charateristics
- Noble rot in St Bris - it is possible,
Very late picked Semillon in new oak in St Bris - it is possible
Is there a demi sec 'village' style St Bris ?
Some Sauterne properties make a dry white, like best Graves.
Goose tell us how it is. Please
