Wine Description:

Domaine Felix is one of Saint-Bris' oldest family run estates dating from 1692. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is pale gold in colour. An intensely aromatic nose with gooseberry, citrusy aromas. Dry on the palate, with the classic gooseberry flavours leading onto a crisp minerally finish.

An exception in Burgundy, Saint Bris AOC wines are made from Sauvignon grapes, with the varieties Sauvignon blanc and Sauvignon gris both being allowed.
Saint Bris AOC is the only Burgundy AOC that allows Sauvignon in the wines. Wines from vineyards around Saint-Bris-le-Vineux planted with Chardonnay or Pinot noir are not included in the Saint-Bris AOC.

Tasting Note:

A lively Sauvignon Blanc with concentration; herby tones and blackcurrant notes coupled with a soft body. Versatile and a good food accompaniment.

Vegetarian, Vegan

Food Suggestion:

Drink with seafood, shellfish, grilled chicken, and goats cheese.

Energetic and charismatic Hérve Félix has a small estate where he produces with passion a range of artisan wines.
