Henri Bourgeois Sancerre 2023 750ml
DescriptionThe 2023 vintage brings fresh energy to Henri Bourgeois' classic Sancerre, where ideal growing conditions have produced a wine of exceptional vibrancy and purity. This latest release showcases why Bourgeois remains Sancerre's benchmark producer across multiple price points.
The wine opens with explosive aromatics - grapefruit and lime leap from the glass, followed by notes of white flowers and that distinctive Sancerre minerality. The 2023's perfect balance of ripeness and acidity creates exceptional aromatic intensity. As it develops, hints of green apple, fresh herbs, and wet chalk emerge. On the palate, the wine delivers both power and precision; racing acidity carries concentrated citrus flavors, while mineral undertones provide complexity and length. The finish extends with remarkable persistence.
This 2023 demonstrates Bourgeois' consistency in capturing Sancerre's essence vintage after vintage. The wine offers immediate pleasure as an aperitif while possessing the concentration to pair with diverse cuisines. For those seeking textbook Sancerre from a stellar vintage, this bottle delivers everything that makes the appellation special - intensity, minerality, and that ineffable sense of place that defines great Loire Valley wine.
