Pascal Bouchard - Saint Bris Sauvignon Blanc

Located in the heart of the Chablis region, Maison Pascal Bouchard offers a full range of wines from Chablis and the Grand Auxerrois region, spreading over 40 hectares. Pascal Bouchard is one of the leading negociants, working closely with small quality groomed growers. The impressive modern cuverie is perfectly suited to the highest quality requirement with crop handled by gravity, possibility to vinify micro-cuvées separately thanks to a park of various tank sizes, and an underground thermo-regulated wine cellar to allow the wines to age perfectly. All the bottling and shipping is done on site. In 2015 Maison Pascal Bouchard got purchased by Burgundy Maison Albert Bichot, also proprietor of Chablis Château Long-Depaquit. The two entities share their respective knowledge, even though they are run and managed separately. Pascal Bouchard wines have a strong presence in the domestic market but they are also exported to 40 countries around the world.

100% sauvignon blanc - The vineyards of Saint-Bris are located approximately 15kilometres from the town of Chablis. Diverse Jurassic soils, from Portlandian to Kimmeridgian. Limestone containing fossilized clams (Lower Kimmeridgian) is found close to alluvium from the Yonne River and at the foot of the marly limestone slopes. Vinified exclusively in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks where it continues to age for 8 months.

Fresh and lively on the nose featuring pleasing scents of citrus fruit, peach, and crushed blackcurrant leaves. This wine starts off bold on palate with vivacity along with both fruity and herbaceous notes. This complexity introduces a fruit which is full, flowery and tender, with a hint of wax and salty in the finish. Jammy and preserved-fruit aromas will appear as the wine ages. This is a wine that can be either enjoyed young or after having aged a few years..
