Henri Bourgeois La Bourgeoise Sancerre Branco

Description

This Sancerre, “La Bourgeoise,” seems to have had a little existential crisis before it found us. It spent considerable time contemplating in stainless steel tanks, with a fermentation pace so meticulous that the producers say they stirred the lees with the persistence of a clockmaker. Following seven months of maturation, and imbued with the wisdom gained from oak barrels in the Tronçais forest, it was bottled with the solemnity of a nobleman. A truly refreshing pairing of Sauvignon Blanc with the complexity of oak aging – particularly lovely with oysters or seafood salads.
