Henri Bourgeois
La Côte des Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc
To me a perfect meeting point of ripeness, acidic tension, concentration, and minerality. The depth of fruit shows the vineyards exposition while well-made SS treatment keeps purity and freshness across all fronts. Ripe grapefruit, underripe stone fruit, tropical notes without having an exuberant side to it.
Herbal component is subdued yet integrated, making more of the case for sweet herbs than raw pyrazine. Texturally there’s almost an allusion of oak in its mouthfeel. This is fantastic for the price, great quality.

Nov 30th, 2017Tropically delicious. Perfect for hanging with late night girls and artisan sausages. Don't tell the bartender we opened a bottle at our table I already asked her if it was cool and she said no. Agree and agree, not a good idea 😜

Sep 11th, 2016An excellent #sancere that is losing a little with time. Great acidity and aromatics though with med + complexity. #henribourgeois #loirevalley #sauvignonblanc #ctbucklinwine
