Wild Strawberries, White Peach, Crushed Chalk, and Pure Sancerre Pinot Noir Elegance

The 2024 Henri Bourgeois Sancerre Rosé is an elegant, vibrant, and refreshingly pure 100% Pinot Noir rosé crafted by the historic Bourgeois family in Chavignol (Loire Valley). Sourced from steep slopes composed of limestone pebbles (*caillottes*) and clay-limestone soils, this dry rosé captures crisp mountain-river freshness with remarkable finesse. Lifted aromas of wild strawberries, redcurrants, white peach, citrus zest, and delicate white blossoms lead into a light-to-medium-bodied palate driven by mouth-watering acidity, subtle red fruit texture, and a long, saline-mineral finish.

Terroir & Domaine Craft

  • Chavignol & Sancerre Slopes: Crafted by the Bourgeois family, who have cultivated vines in Chavignol for ten generations. The Pinot Noir vines thrive on a patchwork of stony limestone (*caillottes*) and clay-limestone soils (*terres blanches*), giving this rosé vibrant aromatic lift, delicate red berry fruit, and a distinct chalky mineral foundation.
  • Precision Stainless Steel Maturation: Produced through gentle direct pressing and short cold maceration to extract pure aromatics and a pale, luminous color. Fermented at cool temperatures and aged on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks, preserving energetic acidity and crisp varietal precision without wood interference.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir harvested from the historic slopes of Sancerre, Loire Valley.
  • A radiant 2024 release bursting with wild strawberries, redcurrants, white peach, and citrus blossom.
  • Crafted by Famille Bourgeois, perfect for immediate enjoyment over the next 2 to 4 years.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Delicate, luminous pale salmon-pink with shimmering rose-gold reflections.
  • Nose: Fresh, lifted, and floral. It opens with aromas of wild strawberries, redcurrant, and crunchy raspberries, accompanied by white peach, blood orange zest, and crushed limestone minerality.
  • Palate: Bone-dry, light-to-medium-bodied, and vibrant. The entry delivers a crisp burst of tart red berries and citrus sap that glides across a crystalline mid-palate, framed by energetic acidity into a clean, thirst-quenching, saline finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled at 8–10°C to highlight its crisp berry freshness and mineral tension.
  • Decanting: No decanting needed; open and serve fresh. Best enjoyed now through 2027+.
  • Western Pairing: Classic Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese, grilled prawns, Niçoise salad, bouillabaisse, or summer charcuterie.
  • Asian Pairing: Cantonese steamed sea bass, Vietnamese fresh spring rolls, salmon sashimi, or dim sum.
