For 10 generations, the Bourgeois family has committed efforts to their Sauvignon Blancs and Pinot Noirs. Each member of our family, Jean-Marie Bourgeois, Arnaud, Lionel and Jean-Christophe, bring their talent to the Domaine. However, the main figure of the turning point in the family's history was Henri Bourgeois. From cultivating two hectares on the slopes of Chavignol, he took the audacious step in the 1950's of concentrating on his vines in an area that was, until then, unknown. This is where wines of high quality were born and to which he gave his name. Established in Chavignol, in the heart of the best terroirs of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, we cultivate a mosaic of plots respecting our unique terroirs of kimmeridgian, silex and limestone.
The bouquet is marked by Morello cherry, violet, wood notes and with aging it develops aromas of game and truffle. On the palate, it reveals good roundness and a light, pleasant tannins, assuring good aging for 8 to 10 years. We are loving it!
