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.
