Made by acclaimed Sancerre producer Henri Bourgeois. Local wine producers were intrigued to see how the well-known Sancerre winemaker would plant and vinify their wines, and proud that New Zealand's celebrated Sauvignon Blanc region had been chosen. Despite their ten-generation history of producing Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in the Loire Valley, the Bourgeois family placed strong emphasis on researching the viticultural practices of local winegrowers. This cooperation, the Clos Henri vineyard and the wine reflect the marriage of French-New Zealander experience. A complex nose dominated by pineapple, guava on one hand and chalk, flint on the other hand which reveals the minerality of this wine with a touch of lemon peel and lime. The mouth follows the nose with a superb mouth feeling and richness. The acidity provides the skeleton and gives the wine focus. Th dry finish is long, the end of mouth extends with lime and minerality. This wine will reveal its real potential in a few months and you will be delighted if you can wait to age it for 3 to 4 years.
