In the mouth
The palate offers considerable volume with an almost creamy texture, balanced by crisp acidity. The wine finishes with impressive length and a lingering mineral quality.
On the nose
The bouquet unfolds with spiced and vanilla notes, complemented by enticing hints of exotic fruit and subtle mineral undertones. A complex and inviting aromatic profile.
On the eye
Pale golden yellow with brilliant clarity and fine luminosity.
Breeding
Aged 12 months on fine lees.
This Sancerre pairs beautifully with poached Bresse chicken and truffles, where its richness complements the earthiness of the dish. It is equally at home with fresh goat's cheese, where the wine's acidity and fruit provide an elegant counterpoint to the cheese's creaminess.

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.
