In the mouth
The palate offers considerable volume and texture, with an almost creamy mouthfeel that belies the wine's dry character. The finish is clean and persistent, leaving a satisfying impression of fruit and minerality.
On the nose
The bouquet unfolds with spiced and vanilla-tinged notes, complemented by hints of exotic fruit and a subtle mineral undertone. The aromatics suggest both ripeness and freshness in equal measure.
On the eye
Bright, pale yellow with excellent clarity and luminosity.
Breeding
Aged 12 months on fine lees.
This Sancerre pairs beautifully with Bresse chicken prepared with truffles, where its structure and fruit will complement the richness of the dish. It is equally at home alongside fresh, aged goat's cheese, where the wine's acidity and mineral notes provide an elegant counterpoint to the cheese's subtle tang.

DOMAINE HENRI BOURGEOIS
Based in Chavignol at the heart of the Sancerre appellation, Domaine Henri Bourgeois farms 66 hectares across kimmeridgian marl, flint and clay-limestone soils, including the celebrated Monts Damnés slopes. Founded in 1950 on just 2 inherited hectares, the estate built its reputation on single-vineyard vinification and an unwavering commitment to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, now farmed entirely under organic certification. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the precision of its terroirs, the integrity of its organic approach, and the international recognition its cuvées have earned — the ES-56 featured in the Wine Spectator Top 100 2022. A reliable reference for anyone wishing to explore Sancerre at its most expressive.

Le Domaine Henri Bourgeois propose avec Etienne Henri une belle interprétation du Sancerre blanc. Ce sauvignon sec et fruité révèle une générosité en bouche, une fraîcheur remarquable et des arômes séducteurs de fruits exotiques. Élevé 12 mois sur lies fines, il gagne en volume et en persistance. À déguster jeune ou à garder quelques années, il accompagne aussi bien un chèvre frais affiné qu\'une poularde de Bresse aux Truffes.
