Basically a “baby Sancerre”, this exciting young Sauvignon Blanc is grown on the same chalky slate soils you’ll find across Sancerre from 10-40 year-old vines, fermented in stainless steel and allowed to rest 3 months on the fine lees. The vineyard is located just outside the legal boundary of Sancerre, but the flavors make you feel right in the middle!
Generous, fresh, aromas of fresh flowers, just cut grass, white grapefruit, and a hint of wet stones burst from the glass. Then in your mouth this crisp, lithe, wine fairly vibrates with more citrus and green apple fruit, tangy gooseberry, and fresh grass. The acidity is refreshing, if a touch softer than last year, and the fruit flavors are juicy and bright. Served cold, it’s thirst quenching and refreshing. Let it warm up a touch and it’s layered, complex, and a fantastic match for seafood, fresh vegetables, and – of course – goat cheese. - Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc Petit Clos 2012 Product #27164 (In Stock)

What happens with one of Sancerre's best winemakers tries his hand at New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc? Complexity, length, and sophistication to go with the classic New Zealand fruit! Plenty of grapefruit, passion fruit, and gooseberry, fruit with a touch of mineral and citrus rind. Juicy, fresh, and very long on the lemon, lime, and grapefruit finish.

Classic Sauvignon Blanc from Chavignol, the home village of Henri Bourgeois. You’ll find all the classic Sancerre aromas and flavors here – white citrus, fresh grass, lime skin, gun flint – in a ripe wine that has plenty of amplitude but also terrific balancing cut and vibrancy. A terrific example of the rounder, softer, style of Sancerre from Chavignol and ready to enjoy now with or without food.
"A very juicy white, exhibiting nice delineation to the mix of kiwifruit, grapefruit pulp, lemon zest and chamomile notes. The long, floral finish is almost bracing."Wine Spectator 90 points

A fine follow-up to the 91 point 2010, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Pouilly-Fume delivers big aromas of white peach, straw, and white grapefruit. Bright, loaded with flinty mineral and smoke, and very long, it delivers more citrus, peach, and fresh almond flavors and a long, smoky/flinty, finish. A textbook Pouilly-Fume for fish and cheeses.
