Classic, elegant white from the North of Burgundy
Production
Produced from 5 hectares of Argilo-Calcaire, Kimmeridgian and Portlandian soils only a few kilometres away from Chablis, this wine shares many characteristics with its prestigious neighbour. Vinification takes place entirely in thermo regulated steel tanks, with pneumatic pressing and the use of static clarification. The wine will age for 3-5 years if desired.

Tasting notes
Fresh with a hint of brioche on the nose. Lusciously textured with a Chablis-like chalky and mineral aspect, fleshed out with some floral and ripe stone fruit.
Food match
If you can make it last longer than aperitf time, this will pair beautifully with grilled scallops, seafood and chicken in creamy sauces or grilled spring vegetables.

Meet the producer
Energetic and charismatic, Hérve Félix has a small estate where he passionately produces a range of artisan wines. Founded by his ancestors in 1690, the estate remained in its 11 hectare form for three hundred years. In 1991, new plots of vines were purchased and the family now owns a total of 32 hectares mainly in Saint Bris Le Vineux, 8km south of Auxerre and 16km west of Chablis. A series of further investments in cellar equipment over the subsequent years has shown that, in winemaking, tradition does not exclude dynamism or modernism.
"This place may look a little chaotic, but the whites go into bottle young and fresh... This is one of Saint-Bris's oldest families, Nicolas Félix having been second alderman in the revolutionary year 1789". Burgundy, Anthony Hanson.
