Crisp, focused, and mineral driven. Tropical fruit and vibrant citrus aromas. The palate confirms this fruitiness and brings a nice and clean mineral note, very concentrated wine expresses its strong personality.

Henri Bourgeois is a renowned 10th generation Sancerre wine produce known for its dedication to the iconic Côte des Monts Damnés vineyard. They are certainly one of the most respected producers in the area, and the estate is fully certified organic.
La Côte des Monts Damnés is a very steep south and south-west facing slope in Chavignol composed of Kimmeridgian marls (a soil made up of fossilized seashells and clay). This terroir gives roundness, deepness and a great longevity to the wines. It’s one of the best plot in Sancerre and since the 11th century, noblemen would argue just to possess a small parcel.
