Domaine Henri Bourgeois LA VIGNE BLANCHE Sancerre Blanc

La Vigne Blanche comes from vines grown on slopes separating the village of Chavignol from Sancerre, the terroir being an amalgam of clay and limestone chalk. Oak aged in barrel for five months on the fine lees, La Vigne Blanche is vinous with herbaceous notes of elderflower and ivy as well as a hint of kiwi fruit. (12 x 75 cl)

The M.D. is from grapes harvested on the Monts Damnes, slopes so steep that they are called 'cursed'. The delicate tropical fruit aromas and clean mineral and fruity palate testify to Le MD's pedigree as an exceptional wine from one of the finest slopes in the Sancerre appellation (12 x 75 cl)

Cuvée d'Antan is made in 'the old style' from vines on south-facing slopes. Viticulture is biodynamic, grapes are harvested by hand and after pressing and maceration the wine is left in old wooden barrels for eighteen months batonnage. Racking is done after the full moon. The style is sui generis: the wine fills the mouth with layer after layer of creamy fruit, a touch of breadiness from the lees and the terroir notes of truffle and warm stone. (12 x 75 cl)

Jadis is grown on Kimmeridgean Marl and is made according to Henri Bourgeois grandfather's recipe. This is a wine of great charisma; very aromatic and concentrated. Complex and well-balanced, Sancerre Jadis reveals aromas of exotic fruits and honey. (12 x 75 cl)

This cuvee is produced from a selection of very old vines from the village of Chavignol, growing on the famous 'Cote des Monts Damnes'. Low yields assure an optimum concentration of the wine without loss of balance and once in the winery gravity use throughout the winemaking optimises the excellence of the raw material. Throughout the maturation, the wine is stirred twice weekly which helps to become rich and unctuous. Ripe fruit aromas, spice, and light vanilla tones accompany a roundness and amazing length on the palate. (12 x 75 cl)
