Henri Bourgeois - Sancerre Blanc - Sauvignon Blanc

Description

Overview: A precise and dynamic wine, delicately balancing and assembling the crispness of Sauvignon Blanc with the elegance of its typical Sancerre terroir. 

Vines grown on a terroir of flinty clays and limestone, located on the hills between Chavignol and Sancerre. Yields are deliberately low, with high-density cultivation and inter-row grassing. 

Gentle pressing as soon as the harvest is received to preserve the aromatic potential of the grapes. Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats (15-18°C). Aged for 5-6 months on its lees before bottling.

Tasting Notes: Green and flinty

Pairing: Smoked mackerel rillettes

Points: 90, James Suckling

Format / ABV: 750 ml / 13.0%
