Pristine Red Cherries, Floral Rose, and French-Style Marlborough Precision

The 2024 Clos Henri Estate Pinot Noir is a wonderfully pure, vibrant, and refined red wine from the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand. Crafted by the renowned Bourgeois family of Sancerre, it marries Old World restraint with Southern Hemisphere fruit purity. Soaring aromas of juicy red cherries, Doris plums, red roses, cocoa, and wet river stones open into a medium-bodied, pristine palate supported by lively acidity and silky, integrated tannins.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
James Suckling 93 pts
  • 93 Points - James Suckling: Beautiful nose of cherries and red plums with hints of cocoa, dried oranges, roses and wet stones. Very pure and pristine on the palate, with a medium body, vibrant acidity and well-defined yet nicely integrated tannins. Focused and fresh. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
  • French Sancerre Tradition Meets Marlborough Terroir: Founded in 2000 by the Bourgeois family of Sancerre, Clos Henri is organically farmed at high French density (4,000 vines/ha) without irrigation. Sourced from glacial clay and greywacke stone soils in the Wairau Valley, it delivers extraordinary fruit concentration and earthy minerality.
  • Gentle Large-Vat Vinification: The 2024 vintage was fermented naturally in stainless steel with 10–20% whole clusters, followed by 11 months aging in large 7,500-liter French oak vats. This large-cask aging softens the structure while preserving intense fruit purity and natural freshness.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir organically farmed on high-density clay and stone soils in the Wairau Valley, Marlborough.

Tasting Notes

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C to highlight its bright fruit purity and floral aromatics.
