About this wine
Henri Bourgeois Sancerre La Bourgeoise is a prestigious cuvée sourced from the oldest vines of the estate, planted in the unique Kimmeridgian marl soils of Chavignol. This terroir imparts a distinct mineral intensity and profound complexity to the wine. On the nose, it reveals elegant aromas of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle flinty smokiness. The palate is rich, structured, and remarkably persistent, showcasing a perfect balance between vibrant acidity and concentrated fruit. It is a benchmark expression of Sancerre that demonstrates exceptional aging potential, evolving beautifully over a decade or more.
This is a sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc that offers a much deeper, more layered experience than standard entry-level wines.
