Jean Marc Brocard Sauvignon de St-Bris 2008
Robert Parker, Jr. - The Wine Advocate: Rated as A very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor, as well as character with no noticeable flaws. "The Brocard 2008 Saint-Bris Domaine Sainte Claire features lime, grapefruit, cherry, chalk and cherry pit notes that could easily have come from a Chablis Chardonnay. Its rather sublimated sense of Sauvignonness is revealed in hints of herbs and grasses. Bright and lean, invigorating and cleansing, this finishes with intense piquancy and tactile tenacity of citrus rind, chalk, salt, and cherry pit. It should perform well for at least 3-4 years. Drink 2011-2014." Oct 2010
Winery: "First typical nose of Saint Bris, very Sauvignon. More powerful second nose, in the exotic aromas and of box tree. A lively and fruity palate. A very airy and crisp wine. Attractive finish." Wired For Wine: From Burgundy, France, we bring you this lively and refreshing Jean-Marc Brocard Sauvignon de St. Bris. This bright and invigorating white wine is another terrific summer sipper, just made for warm days and nights outside with good food on the table. Enjoy a cool glass with saffron potato cakes with salt cod, tomato and olive oil. The citrus and cherry, herbal and chalky mineral notes of this beautiful Brocard, and its bright persona make it a fantastic wine for chicken, fish and seafood, as well as vegetables and herbs. We love this Sauvignon Blanc with pan-roasted lobster with creamy sweet corn and chives. A simple lemon-oregano chicken over orzo will showcase the citrus of this St. Bris perfectly. Sauteed crabmeat with gnocchi and pancetta will match the whisper of salt in this wonderful white and leave you wanting more. Pop another bottle and serve it with a French Chevrot cheese. Parlez d'une fin parfaite… Size: 750ml, cork Varietal: 100% Sauvignon Blanc Alcohol: @12.0% Ageing: Ageing in stainless steel vats to preserve the typicity of the soil and the freshness of the fruit.
