Domaine Henri Bourgeois is located in Chavignol, where the wine estate covered 2 hectares 60 years ago. The tenth generation of the family business now owns 65 hectares, supplying grapes for half of the wines produced. The family also owns the Marlborough area of New Zealand and even bottles some of their spicy screw cap sancerres. The top wines of sancerre and pouilly-fumé are aged in oak barrels.
A delicious Sancerre by Henri Bourgeois so quality is assured. The old vines of more than 30 years give the wine its concentration. In the glass, this sauvignon blanc has a light fresh color with golden shades. In the nose we smell the typical notes of a good sancerre such as pineapple, grapefruit, white flowers, passion fruit and a little citrus. This is a super fruit-rich, aromatic and complex wine. Fresh and lively with citrus fruit and a hint of gooseberry, this Les Baronnes Sancerre is beautifully ripe, juicy and tasty, rich and full, nice and dry, not at all strict, due to its soft acids.
