Bordeaux have missed out on the chance to overtake Saint-Etienne in the Ligue 1 table as the two sides drew 0-0 at the Stade Chaban Delmas.
The visitors almost made the breakthrough with 33 minutes on the clock, but Faouzi Ghoulam's drive rattled the crossbar.
In a second half of few chances, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had the opportunity to give Saint-Etienne the lead on 48 minutes, only to put his effort wide.
Yoan Gouffran was denied by visiting goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier soon after and the shotstopper was called into action in the final stages to keep out Jussie's shot.
