Description
Henri Bourgeois Sancerre d’Antan Sancerre Blanc
100% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes come from Saint-Satur's silex soils, a vineyard first planted in 1936. The soil here is predominantly flinty and the vines have low yields. To obtain the most beautiful grapes, everything is tailored to respect the terroir (from the use of organic fertilisers only to grass covers)
As a tribute to traditional methods, Sancerre “d’Antan” is bottled without fining nor filtration. Fermentation occurs in 4, 5 and 6 year-old oak barrels. The wine then matures on very fine lees. Two rackings are carried out according to the lunar cycle before bottling.
Ageing potential: drink now or within 6–8 years from vintage.
