Sancerre La Bourgeoise Henri Bourgeois (no reserve) 2013

The wine

This wine comes from the domain’s oldest vines. Half of the wine is vinified in vats and the other in casks on fine lees. The élevage lasts for one year in vats and casks. This is a characterful wine with a lovely aromatic palette, with aromas of flint and spices. On the palate, the wine has quite a vegetal character, with perfect balance and fabulous concentration. Characterised by its lovely roundness and acidity, with aromas of exotic fruits (mango, passionfruit).
