The 2023 Domaine Clément Lavallée Saint-Bris Les Copains d’Abord is an expressive Sauvignon Blanc from Saint-Bris in northern Burgundy. Grown on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils, it shows citrus blossom, green apple and ripe yellow fruit alongside subtle tropical notes and a distinctive mineral character.
On the palate, it is dry, fresh and finely textured, with vibrant acidity balancing generous fruit and gentle savoury complexity. Indigenous yeast fermentation is followed by maturation in oak and stainless steel, with extended time on fine lees adding texture and depth while preserving freshness. The finish is clean, persistent and mineral-driven.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Sauvignon Blanc drinkers looking for a distinctive northern Burgundy expression with bright acidity, fine texture and mineral complexity. Enjoy now or allow some further bottle development. Ideal with oysters, grilled fish, prawns, salmon, asparagus or goat’s cheese.
