Description
Henri Bourgeois La Demoiselle de Bourgeois Pouilly-Fumé
100% Sauvignon Blanc. Made from a strict selection of the best Sauvignon grapes, the fruit for La Demoiselle comes from the Kimmeridgian marls of Saint-Laurent l'Abbaye. The first vines of this AOC were planted in this location. This terroir gives roundness, deepness and a great longevity to the wines.
After a gentle pressing and 24 hours settling, fermentation for 85% of the must occurs in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks at 15–18°C. The remaining 15% goes through fermentation in 600 litre oak barrels. This subtle blending gives a great complexity to the wine. Maturation takes place on fine lees for 9–10 months before bottling.
Ageing potential: drink now or within 6–10 years from vintage.
