Sancerre blanc
Sancerre blanc Henri Bourgeois
This Sancerre blanc is typical of the appellation and the Domaine Henri Bourgeois style. Subtle yet powerful, its persistence and harmony find their origin in the exposition and quality of the terroir. Crispy, and fruity this wine has some lime, apple and gunflint aromas balanced by ripe tropical and yellow orchard fruits.
A delight at the beginning of the meal, Sancerre blanc is also an excellent companion to fish dishes such as Scallops with mango emulsion or Roll of bass in curry. The famous Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese, produced in the same region, is the perfect match.
In order to preserve and develop its aromatic potential, this fine wine is fermented in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks at 15 – 18°C. It is then matured on its fine lees at cool temperature during 5 months before bottling.
With its delicate nose and aromas of white flesh fruits and citrus, and its subtle mineral note, the Sancerre blanc is typical of the Sancerre appellation and the Domaine Henri Bourgeois style.
Winegrowing & Terroir
The hills and ridges separating the village of Chavignol from Sancerre are composed of clay and limestone (65% clay and 35% chalk). Sancerre blanc comes from this terroir that gives wines with fruitiness and vivacity with typical varietal aromas of ripe citrus fruits and white flowers.
