HENRI BOURGEOIS SAUVIGNON BLANC PETIT BOURGEOIS 2024

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 (2024 Vintage)
"This wine, emblematic of Henri Bourgeois' expertise and passion, is anything but "petit" in its character. It stands as the aromatic and seductive outcome of a meticulous and demanding selection process. Remarkably aromatic, This Sauvignon Blanc presents a subtle and floral nose, a fresh and juicy palate reminiscent of pomelo and white fig, and a slight bitterness in the finish that whets the appetite.

The Sauvignon Blanc vines are grown on the clay-limestone hillsides of the Loire Valley, a noble region also known as the "Garden of France". The Loire Valley, with its many castles and gardens, produces high quality vegetables and local wine thanks to its exceptional climate and ideal temperatures.

Fermentation in temperature controlled stainless-steel vats, at low temperature, to allow a longer fermentation and preserve the aromas of the fruit. Aged for 3 to 4 months on fine lees before bottling."
