Henri Bourgeois En Travertin Pouilly-Fume AOC

The Henri Bourgeois estate is located in the village of Chavignol, famous for its magnificent wines and Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese. For 10 generations, the Bourgeois family has been engaged in winemaking. In 1950, the Henri Bourgeois estate consisted of 2 hectares; today, his sons have expanded the Domaine to 65 hectares of vineyards located among the best slopes of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, stretching to the banks of the Loire. Thanks to the excellent climate, chalky and flinty soils, ideal conditions are created for growing Sauvignon with a mineral character, which is reflected in the wine`s refinement and elegance. The Bourgeois family`s passion for wines drives them to do their best to cultivate remarkable grapes and produce magnificent wine. The family`s philosophy is based on respect for terroir and winemaking. Thanks to the skillful combination of traditions and modern technologies, the Bourgeois estate produces high-quality Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé wines. The Bourgeois family humorously refers to the result of their labor as "bourgeois quality". Most often, the aging of wines here is a complex combination of steel and oak: first, the wine ferments and ages for some time in a steel tank, and then it is moved to barrels, with the maturation process typically lasting 6-12 months. As a result, magnificent wines are born that leave no one indifferent.
