Henri Bourgeois Family Sancerre - Marlborough Français English Henri Bourgeois Clos Henri Vineyard Les Monts Damnés For 10 generations, our family has devoted its passion and values to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir to craft wines of unique expression. Each member of our family, Jean-Marie Bourgeois, Arnaud, Lionel & Jean-Christophe, brings its knowledge and expertise to our wine Estate. Rooted to our beloved village of Chavignol, on the greatest terroirs of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, we work on a mosaic of many vine plots. Each plot is isolated and worked in respect of its origin to reveal, in the most precise and true way, the expression of its terroir - either Kimmerigdian marls, Flint or Limestone Clay soils. Curious and of a pioneering spirit, our family established in 2000, our organically farmed Clos Henri vineyard, in Marlborough, New Zealand. Here, too, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir blossom on the great terroirs of this region. Our Hotel Restaurant, La Côte des Monts Damnés (translated as "The Damned Hill"), managed by Jean-Marc Bourgeois the elder son of Jean-Marie, welcomes you in the heart of the Sancerre region, only two hours from Paris and invites you discover cooking that reinvents tradional local cuisine. His hotel will allow you a nice and peaceful stay at the edge of the Loire river. DOMAINE HENRI BOURGEOIS CERTIFIED "Vignobles & Découvertes" - October 2016 Launched in 2009 by the Ministers in charge of Tourism and Agriculture, the "Vignobles & Découvertes" label is awarded to French wine and touristic destinations offering high quality visits and services. Domaine Henri Bourgeois has received this award last July, just as the touristic destination "Sancerre, Pouilly-Giennois". "Vignobles & Découvertes" is rewarding the Bourgeois family efforts, made around a nice offer of guided tours and tastings with the opportunity to taste the Chavignol goat cheese or have a few steps in the vineyard. The "picnic wine" is also a unique experience in the heart of Sancerre. This recognition will be achieved soon by placing a tag at the entrance of our tasting room, a place where all visitors can discover our wines and our philosophy in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
