Domaine Felix | Sauvignon Blanc | Saint Bris, Côte d’Auxerre, Burgundy, France | 2022

A 10-minute drive outside of Chablis (one of our favorite, limestone-rich regions) lies the unheard-of, overlooked appellation of Côte d’Auxerre. Here we still find Kimmeridgian Era limestone– ancient seabed dating back to dinosaurs walking this earth. This prized soil type is responsible for the beautiful, mineral-driven wines of Chablis and Sancerre.

While the two regions grow completely different varieties (Chablis = Chardonnay, Sancerre = Sauv Blanc), the cool climates and extremely similar soils create remarkable wines of very similar styles.

So it is no surprise that Domaine Felix grows stunning Chardonnay AND Sauvignon Blanc laden with rich, beautiful minerality!

The family has been farming in this northern Burgundian region since 1690! At the current site of the family farmstead, Father Hervé, his wife Marie-Claire, and son Olivier farm mineral and stoney slopes in the Côte d’Auxerre.
