White dry
A vibrant, subtly fruity, mineral wine made from three vineyards growing on different soils, predominantly fossilised clay. The vines are planted relatively densely.
After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is kept on the lees for 3 months.
Aromas of ripe citrus fruits, white stone fruits, blackcurrant buds, rhubarb, white currants and white pepper. Light, crisp, with a long finish.
Serve at 10–12 °C as an aperitif, with white fish dishes, asparagus, artichokes and light cheeses.
Very Sancerre-like with subtle lemon rind, light white pepper and green melon. The palate is refined and polished with hints of orange blossoms at the end. Pretty acidity. Sophisticated sauvignon. Drink now. Screw cap. Monday, Nov 11, 2024
Situated in the village of Chavignol Domaine Henri Bourgeois is one of the larger private Sancerre domaines and have vineyards on some the the best sites in the appellation. The domaine is run today by the 10th generation of the family in the shape of General Manager - Arnaud Bourgeois, Viticulturist - Lionel Bourgeois and Winemaker - Jean-Christophe Bourgeois. They make several cuvées and are keen to emphasise the different characteristics of the various vineyards used even though the grape variety remains the same. Possibly to emphasise their passion for Sauvignon Blanc they also establised the well regarded Clos Henri Vineyard in that grape's more recent heartland, Marlborough in New Zealand.
