Description:
Sourced from chalky clay soils of the hills separating Sancerre from Chavignol this medium-bodied, juicy yet minerally structured and zesty Sauvignon from 20-to 40-year-old vines offers attractive white fruit flavors intertwined with piquant citrus aromas and dusty chalk flavors. This is a very pleasant, well-balanced, already accessible and stimulating Sancerre of good intensity and quality with lovely citrus flavors also in the finish and aftertaste.
Winery:
Henri Bourgeois
For 10 generations, we have put our passion and values ​​as winemakers in the service of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir to develop wines of great character. Every member of our family, Jean-Marie Bourgeois, Arnaud, Lionel and Jean-Christophe, brings his talent to the Domaine. Located in Chavignol, in the heart of the best soils of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, we cultivate a mosaic of parcels in respect of our terroirs of Kimmeridgian marl, flint and limestone clay. In 2000, after a long quest, we decided to extend the family adventure by creating a vineyard in organic farming in Marlborough, New Zealand. Here too, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir blossom on the fabulous terroirs of this region. As for Jean-Marc Bourgeois, the eldest son of Jean-Marie, his love of good products is reflected in the cuisine of his restaurant in Chavignol, which revisits the traditional dishes of Berry. It also offers charming stays on the banks of the Loire, just two hours from Paris, in its Hotel-Restaurant The Côte des Monts Damnés in the heart of Sancerrois.
