Saint Brice
MÉDOC AOC – BORDEAUX – FRANCE
Saint-Brice is the oldest cuvée from the cellar created in 1934. It comes from vineyards planted on the towns of Saint-Yzans, Saint-Christoly, Couquèques, Blaignan and Ordonnac.
The Saint-Brice has been renowned for decades among the local clientele, which is a token of its authenticity and quality.
Merlot, which is the grape planted in the largest proportion in this part of Médoc, produces powerful and structured wines, with a slightly spicy flavour—while Cabernet Sauvignon will produce taut and very fresh wine.
