Henri Bourgeois, Pouilly-Fumé La Demoiselle de Bourgeois 2020

The Henri Bourgeois estate has been in the same family for over 10 generations, and they still work with the same ethos and drive for quality and wines which speak of the inimitable terroir of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. Experts at all things Sauvignon Blanc, Henri Bourgeois is rightfully acclaimed one of the region's top producers. La Demoiselle de Bourgeois 2020 is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc taken from vines in the storied appellation of Pouilly-Fumé; the terroir of which gives a richness and a complex aromatic palate to the wine. The lively acidity and the mineral notes (chalky and flinty) are balanced by delicious flavours of citrus, pear, quince, green plum and white pepper. As with all good Pouilly-Fumé, 15% of the grapes were aged and fermented in oak, which adds a nice persistent smokiness on the finish.
