CLOS HENRI ESTATE SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023

The Clos Henri Vineyard near Renwick is owned by Henri Bourgeois, a leading, family-owned producer in the Loire Valley, which feels this wine expresses ‘a unique terroir and a French winemaking approach’. A sophisticated and distinctive Sauvignon Blanc.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Our new Estate Range replaces the Petit Clos – showing vivacity, concentration and brightness, the Estate wines are crafted from both our glacial stones and windblown clay terroirs. Combining the best nuances of Marlborough and our Sancerre heritage, this organic Sauvignon Blanc is our flagship wine from the Clos Henri estate in Blenheim.

Bright and inviting, the 2023 Estate Sauvignon Blanc has notes of ripe citrus, orange blossom and white peach. Juicy, with rich ripe stone fruits, the palate offers a refreshing acidity with satisfying weight and length. A wine showing excellent purity of place, there is a lingering mineral finish."

5 Stars, 95/100 & #2 Rated 2023 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, April 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Bright, fresh and rather Sancerre-like sauvignon with a perfect sweet/sour balance that drives a lengthy finish. Passionfruit, lemongrass and capsicum are the more prominent flavours. Weighty wine with an appealing texture."
