They work 2 hectares across several parcels, including two small plots in Saint-Bris, the only Burgundy appellation reserved for Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. One is a small hill of clay and Kimmeridgian limestone with a westerly exposure; the other is old vines planted in 1959 in white marl, exposed to the north. Both Romain and Mélissa completed much of their apprenticeships in the Jura, Romain with Ganevat and Mélissa with Labet, which goes some way to explaining their instinct for extended aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom their two parcels of Sauvignon Blanc, 75% of the grapes were directly pressed and the remainder briefly macerated. The two portions were aged separately in 228 and 500 litre barrels before being assembled prior to bottling in January 2025. Originally called Perséverance when aged for one year in barrel, the extended aging of over two years prompted Romain and Mélissa to rename it Perséverance et Patience, recognising that the additional time had made a fundamentally different wine. It has no added sulphites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2022 vintage will be among the last from their Burgundy holdings. Romain and Mélissa have purchased a vineyard in Jurançon, and 2026 will be their final vintage in Burgundy. It is a significant decision, made in pursuit of a different life, one where they live alongside their vines on a single property with room for a family home, a vegetable garden, and animals. We love the wines they have made here and will follow them south with great interest. This 2022 is a compelling shooting star: complex, tense, and deeply gastronomic, a wine that insists you take time with every mouthful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50497068695745,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/La_Petite_Empreinte_Saint-Bris_Perseverance_et_Patience_2022.webp?v=1786671890","url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/products\/la-petite-empreinte-saint-bris-perseverance-et-patience-2022","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
