Henri Bourgeois Menetou-Salon Sauvignon Blanc

Henri Bourgeois Menetou-Salon Sauvignon Blanc

A Sauvignon Blanc that showcases the finesse and understated sophistication of one of the Loire Valley’s most distinctive appellations. Grown on ancient marl and limestone soils similar to those found in nearby Sancerre, the wine expresses remarkable purity, mineral tension and aromatic clarity.

Combining precise fruit with refined structure, this is a Sauvignon Blanc defined less by exuberance and more by balance, texture and terroir expression.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Bright pale gold with delicate green highlights.
• Nose: Elegant and lifted, revealing aromas of citrus peel, white blossom and freshly cut herbs, underscored by subtle chalky minerality.
• Palate: Fresh and linear, with flavours of grapefruit, lime and green apple framed by crisp acidity and a finely textured mineral core. The balance between fruit and terroir gives the wine both energy and finesse.
• Finish: Clean and persistent, finishing with citrus brightness and stony minerality.

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Henri Bourgeois

Famille Bourgeois is a leading Sancerre wine family based in Chavignol, with roots in viticulture stretching back ten generations. The estate was shaped significantly by Henri Bourgeois, who in the 1950s expanded the family’s vineyard holdings and helped establish their reputation for quality-driven Loire wines.

Today, the family continues to cultivate vineyards across Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume, working with a diverse range of soils that bring complexity and character to their wines. Focused on Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, the domaine combines precise vineyard management with a philosophy of minimal intervention, aiming to express the purity and identity of each terroir.
