The Sancerre by Henri Bourgeois is an interesting version of Sauvignon Blanc produced in the Loire Valley, the historical cradle of this semi-aromatic white grape variety with great charm and personality. In the Sancerre area, Sauvignon Blanc expresses itself with particular finesse and elegance, highlighting especially its character of freshness, with delicate aromas of citrus and fruity notes, always accompanied by a saline and mineral vein, which makes it smooth and very pleasant to drink. It is unbeatable when paired with seafood or delicate fish dishes.

This Sancerre is produced by one of the reference wineries in the Loire Valley. The Domaine of Henri Bourgeois manages over 70 hectares of vineyards, divided into 120 small parcels in the area of the famous Appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé, where Sauvignon Blanc produces wines of extraordinary expressive finesse, true world-class excellences. The winery has always worked to maximize the value of the terroir, choosing to vinify the individual vineyards separately, in order to highlight the differences of the wines.regarding the soils. The soils in the area are, in fact, quite heterogeneous, with the presence of limestone, Kimmeridgian marls, or silica. In order to highlight the natural characteristics of the terroir, no pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic products are used in the vineyard, which could alter the natural balance of the plants.

Sancerre is born on hilly soils of clay-limestone matrix, located west of the town of Sancerre. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperature and the wine rests for 5 months in stainless steel tanks on fine lees before bottling. In the glass, it presents a bright and luminous straw yellow color. The aromas offer notes of citrus, white-fleshed fruit, and delicate hints of aromatic herbs. The sip is tense and intense, with subtle and delicate aromas, leading to a persistent finish of vibrant freshness, which heralds a closing with savory and mineral sensations.
