From Domaine Henri Bourgeois, a family estate with ten generations of winemaking in France’s Sancerre appellation, the Sancerre Rouge 2022 is a refined 100% Pinot Noir sourced from old vines on flint and limestone soils in the Chavignol village, imparting elegance and minerality. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2022 vintage—marked by warm days and cool nights yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo whole-cluster fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by 10-12 months’ aging in French oak barrels to enhance structure and finesse. Committed to sustainable viticulture with organic practices, this production yields a ruby wine with vibrant intensity and graceful poise.
Tasting Notes An elegant, vibrant red with bright red fruit and subtle earthy notes, reflecting Sancerre’s limestone terroir. The nose reveals red cherry, raspberry, violet, and hints of white pepper and forest floor. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and harmonious, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of juicy red berries, mineral earthiness, and a touch of spice, leading to a long, refined finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2022 Sancerre Rouge earned 91 points from Vinous for its vibrant fruit and precise balance.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 30-45 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with roasted poultry, grilled salmon, or mushroom-based dishes. Enjoy now through 2032, developing enhanced earthy and truffle nuances over time.
