Sauvignon
Ten generations of Loire mastery in a glass
- The Bourgeois family has stewarded Sancerre's finest terroirs for ten generations, developing an intimate understanding of how limestone and clay shape the character of Sauvignon Blanc. This heritage informs every vintage.
- Whilst immediately approachable, Jadis possesses genuine structure and mineral backbone that will develop gracefully over the next five to eight years, rewarding patience with greater complexity and refinement.
- A wine of real pleasure: the finesse of classic Sancerre allied to a generous palate and lingering finish. It balances freshness with substance—neither austere nor heavy, but precisely calibrated.

In the mouth
Full and harmonious. Fresh fruit character is grounded by keen mineral precision and a refreshing acidity. The palate has real substance, with good weight sustained by lively tension. Long, persistent finish with excellent aromatic length.
On the nose
Expressive and layered. Opens with carambola and green mango, then reveals menthol and citrus notes that evolve throughout the tasting. Complex without being showy.
On the eye
Pale golden hue with bright, luminous reflections. Clean and inviting appearance.
Breeding
14 months' élevage in 600-litre demi-muids
I find Jadis particularly rewarding with dishes that marry savoury and sweet elements. A roasted chicken supreme with honey and rosemary shows it to fine advantage; equally, grilled sea bass with fennel allows its mineral character to shine. It's a wine that enhances rather than dominates the table.

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.
