About The Wine

Domaine Henri Bourgeois has been making wine in Sancerre for over 330 years, a legacy that spans generations on the heights of Chavignol. This is old-world French sauvignon blanc, shaped by limestone soils and cool-climate precision — the standard Napa fruit gets measured against.

The 'Es-56' bottling sits at the top of the house range. The cuvee delivers incomparable balance and concentration, a proud, intense expression built to reveal all its elegance and finesse over the years.

On the nose: gunflint and spice, the signature minerality of Sancerre, with the floral lift of sauvignon flower and its sap. The palate opens with alluring peach and citrus, then shifts into that taut, fresh structure Bourgeois is known for. This is a wine that rewards patience — give it air, give it time.

93 Wine Enthusiast. 92 Wine Spectator. 92 James Suckling. The scores confirm what the house has been proving for three centuries: this is how sauvignon blanc is supposed to taste.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

"Reserved aromas of yellow pear, sun-kissed golden apple and forest floor gather around the nose that is dusted with honeysuckle and orange blossom. The palate juxtaposes white nectarine against a backdrop of ripe orchard fruit that is lifted by chalk-dusted acidity." ~93 Wine Enthusiast

"Lemons, peach pits, white flowers and nutmeg on the nose of this stony, minerally white. It’s medium-bodied and compact. Drink now." ~92 James Suckling

"A radiant white, with a pretty, inviting, fresh profile of quince, apple and spice notes set against oyster shell and green herbs, plus hints of paraffin and green almond. Firmly structured through the long finish, this is chiseled, with mineral precision and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, long and delicious. Drink now through 2030. 850 cases imported." ~92 Wine Spectator
