White wines A.O.C. (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) Saint-Bris are white wines with a controlled designation of origin that come from the Saint-Bris region, located in Burgundy, France. This appellation was granted in 2003 and is exclusive to white wines made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety.
In the Saint-Bris region, located in Burgundy, France, the main white grape variety used for wine production is Sauvignon Blanc. This is the only variety allowed in the A.O.C. Saint Bris. Sauvignon Blanc is prized for its intense and expressive aromas of tropical fruits, citrus and herbs, together with a refreshing acidity that gives white wines from the region their distinctive and singular character. By focusing exclusively on this grape, Saint-Bris offers unique white wines that faithfully reflect the characteristics of the local terroir.
Saint-Bris white wines are mainly made using the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. The winemaking process begins with the manual harvest of the grapes at their optimum point of ripeness. Once harvested, the grapes are gently pressed to extract the juice, which undergoes controlled alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
During fermentation, the yeasts convert the sugars in the must into alcohol, while the characteristic aromas and flavors of Sauvignon Blanc are released. Winemakers may use different techniques to bring out certain characteristics, such as keeping fermentation at low temperatures to preserve fruity and floral aromas.
After fermentation, some wines can be aged on the lees, which means they are left in contact with the dead yeasts for a period to increase the complexity and texture of the wine. Once the winemaker considers that the wine has reached its fullness, it is bottled.
The result is A.O.C. white wines. Saint-Bris with a unique expression of Sauvignon Blanc, exhibiting intense aromas of tropical fruits, citrus and herbs, along with refreshing acidity. These wines can range in style from fresh and vibrant to richer and more complex, but all share the characteristic of reflecting the character of the terroir of Saint-Bris in Burgundy, France.
Saint-Bris white wines, with their freshness and acidity, are versatile and can be paired with a variety of dishes. Due to their intense aromas and flavors of tropical fruits and citrus, these wines are excellent choices to pair with shellfish and fish, such as oysters, lobster, shrimp, and salmon. They also complement well with poultry-based dishes, such as chicken, turkey, or duck, especially when prepared with creamy or citrus-based sauces.
Goat cheeses and soft cheeses are also a delicious choice to pair with these wines, as their flavors complement and enhance each other. Also, fresh salads with ingredients like arugula, spinach, pineapple, and avocado can be wonderful combinations to bring out the fruity flavors of the wine.
For those who prefer vegetarian options, dishes such as asparagus risottos, pasta with lemon or pesto sauce, and Asian cuisine with sweet and sour flavors can also be harmonious with Saint-Bris white wines.
Ultimately, food and wine pairing is subjective, and it's always a good idea to experiment and find out which pairings are most pleasing to the individual palate. The key is to balance the flavors and enjoy the gastronomic experience that these Saint-Bris white wines can offer.
