HENRI BOURGEOIS SAUVIGNON BLANC PETIT BOURGEOIS 2022

The Petit Bourgeois Blanc is fermented in stainless steel tanks followed by a 3-month maturation on its lees, creating an intensely aromatic profile of white flowers and tropical fruit. On the palate it reveals fresh and vibrant citrus fruit, with a smooth and crisply clean finish, it is refreshingly lighter than the big new world styles and has a marked mineral accent that adds complexity. The vines 10 to 40 years old – are planted on chalky/clay soils adjacent to the appellation of Sancerre. This wine deservedly attracts huge applaud every year for its quality, value and consistency.

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"This Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc takes advantage of 10th generation of winemaking experience of our family. The juice ferments in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks at cool temperature in order to have longer fermentation and more intense aromas. The wine then matures for 3 months on its fine lees before bottling.

Remarkably aromatic with pleasant flower and fruit fragrances recalling the flower of the vine and the fruit of the Sauvignon. On the palate it reveals a freshness and vivacity characteristic of grapes harvested at good maturity. Citrus, apple and gooseberry aromas with hints of passion fruit are often found in this lively and bright wine."
