The Famille Bourgeois has been in love with Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc for 11th generation. The domain covers 72 hectares on the best Terroir of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé appellations. Brought to fruition by Henri Bourgeois over 50 years ago, the vineyards lie on some of the most rugged hillside terrains, offering the best exposures in the Loire Valley.

Red Sancerre comes from vines planted with Pinot Noir on clay and limestone soils. The limestone gives its backbone to the wine, while the clay gives it flesh. Controlled yields and vigor, grass cover between the rows, use of organic fertilizers, limitation of inputs, everything is done to ensure that the grapes of this very demanding variety are as perfect as possible.

This wine with characteristic connotations of red fruits (cherries, morello cherries, etc.) is subtly woody. On the palate, it is pleasantly round, very charming, and reveals a nice astringency (tannins from the grapes but also the aging in oak barrels).
