Winery - Henri Bourgeois
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Almost New World in its intense fruit flavors, bursting with currants, gooseberries and lemons, this is a wine packed with delights. It should age well over three or four years, but can be enjoyed now for its exuberant fruit. Imported by Monsieur Touton Selection Ltd.

Immediately attractive currant and gooseberry flavors dominate this easy, very fruity wine. A citrus and green grass layer goes through the wine, leaving freshness, cleanness and wonderful acidity. Imported by Monsieur Touton Selection Ltd.

This wine is packed with open, fresh, succulent fruit that zings in the mouth. There are flavors of green apple skins, lychees and tropical fruits that last and last. Delicious and fresh; a wine for this summer. Imported by Monsieur Touton Selection Ltd.

There’s great fruit here, lots of white currants, crisp green apples and fresh pears. At the moment, it’s all fruit, a result of the vintage and the fact that it’s a young wine. But there will be more because the fruit is so concentrated it will give roundness and depth in a year or two. Imported by Monsieur Touton Selection Ltd.

The initials refer to the vineyard of Mont Damné, the steepest vineyard in Sancerre. The wine reflects the stony character of the soil, coming through with great intensity. It is powerful, flinty, with a biting citrus character, deliciously taut and intense.

The clay soil of Pouilly gives extra richness to this wine, a creamy texture supporting pear and green plum fruits, with a delicious crushed herb aroma. It is powerful, very concentrated, needing 4–5 years aging.

Made from old vines and partially fermented in wood, this is a complex wine, offering plenty of pure white fruits. It is very precise in character, crisp, tangy, the edge of wood just a hint.

Unfined, unfiltered, wood aged, this wine was created as a tribute to old-style Sancerre. With its intensity and definite wood aging character, it is certainly different. It retains the green fruit character of pure Sauvignon Blanc while offering a more oxidative richness.

Gorgeous, concentrated, ripe fruit show both the quality of this wine and the extra warmth of 2005. The MD is the top cuvée from the Bourgeois vineyard. It’s dense and ripe, with almost exotic fruit flavors, and finishes generous and fruity. Imported by Monsieur Touton Selection Ltd.

Very intense herbal wine, full-bodied, with hints of mineral and a very forward grapefruit and lime fruit character.
