Jean-Marc Brocard Sauvignon Saint-Bris

A

Ok

Like a SB from Loire but more simple

This wine is clear and bright and has a striking citrus aroma and balanced taste of honey and cream but tart. Alltogether a good value for the price of $15.

Served blind. Deep lemony yellow-green color. Very rich, expressive and somewhat waxy nose with tropical fruit-forward aromas of pineapple, peach, star fruit, some currant leaves, a little bit of something vaguely chemical and a hint of golden currant. The wine is light-bodied and quite racy on the palate with high acidity and flavors that follow the nose quite verbatim: there are flavors of exotic fruits like pineapples, passion fruits and a little bit of peach, along with greener notes of …

Straw yellow colour. Green apples, black currant leaves and lime on the nose. Taste of black currant and citrus. Fresh and perfect for a warm summer night.

Deep lemony yellow-green color. Somewhat restrained but very fresh and varietally true nose with more fruit-driven than green-toned nose with aromas of ripe citrus fruits, pronounced chalky minerality, tart green apples, some grassy herbal tones, a little bit of gooseberry and a hint of golden currant. The wine is crisp, racy and quite light-bodied on the palate with dry, focused flavors of tart lemony citrus fruits, tangy green apples, stony minerality, some herbal bitterness, a little bit of passion fruit …

Predominant grassy notes (with a whiff of cat pee) on the nose. The palate reveals a delicate, if not elegant, sauvignon blanc. Pretty flavors of grass, lemon, and lime commingle with good acidity.

Pale straw; lemon and rock-chalk, high toned, a hint of herb in the back; saline, focused, citrus, stone fruit, hint of floral, crisp and clean, finishing with lime zest; not as dramatic as a Loire SB but this is very serious cool climate SB.
