Henri Bourgeois – Les Baronnes Sancerre – 2020 – 1.5L

100% Sauvignon Blanc.

“Les Baronnes” is typical of the Sancerre appellation and the Domaine Henri Bourgeois style. Subtle yet powerful, its persistence and harmony find their origin in the exposition and quality of the terroir. Crispy, and fruity this wine has some lime, apple and gunflint aromas balanced by ripe tropical and yellow orchard fruits.

A delight at the beginning of the meal, “Les Baronnes” is also an excellent companion to fish dishes such as Scallops with mango emulsion or Roll of bass in curry. The famous Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese, produced in the same region, is the perfect match.

In order to preserve and develop its aromatic potential, this fine wine is fermented in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks at 15 – 18°C. It is then matured on its fine lees at cool temperature during 5 months before bottling.

This harmonious white shows nice purity, with orange slice and grapefruit notes detailed by notes of fresh herb, white blossom, spice and mineral. Fresh and full of finesse. Wine Spectator – 90
