Ten generations of vignerons devoted to this distinguished terroir
- The purest expression of the Domaine's terroir. This Pinot Noir from naturally clay-rich soils captures the essence of Sancerre's finest red wine potential, with structure and depth that reward careful cellaring.
- Hand-harvested at dawn to preserve fruit freshness and aromatic purity. The early morning picking ensures optimal ripeness whilst retaining the wine's characteristic elegance and finesse.
- A refined definition of Pinot Noir on clay soils: naturally dense structure, dark fruit character, and savoury complexity. The wine balances ripe black fruits with peppery spice and a silky texture that speaks to careful winemaking.

In the mouth
Juicy palate of dark fruits and liquorice, balanced by silky texture and generous tannins. The finish is clean and persistent, with savoury length that invites reflection.
On the nose
Fine, pure and elegant. Smoky and peppery notes frame aromas of cherry and dark stone fruits, with subtle mineral undertones characteristic of the terroir.
On the eye
Brilliant ruby, with clarity that suggests careful élevage and natural balance.
Breeding
Aged for 12 months in 100% French oak casks, of which 25% new barrels
This is a Sancerre that rewards patience and open-mindedness. Whilst many know the appellation for its whites, Henri Bourgeois has long understood that Pinot Noir from these clay-rich parcels deserves serious consideration. Serve it slightly cool at table, or indeed as an aperitif with charcuterie—it possesses the freshness and structure to work beautifully in either context. A wine that speaks to terroir rather than fashion.
