The Henri Bourgeois Sancerre's are always consistent and delicious. These old Sauvignon Blanc vines are grown on a rich flinty terroir of the Sancerre appellation, specifically located in the village of Saint-Satur, and formed during the Eocene period 56 million years ago. The name "ES-56" actually means Eocene Silex 56 million years ago
This wine with its gun-flint aromas and spicy bouquet is subtly wooded, rich in fruit, full-bodied, well balanced, and very reminiscent of the Sauvignon flower and grape. The richness and intensity of the flavor linger long and harmoniously on the palate. This prestigious selection has excellent bottle maturation potential and will continue to evolve for 10 to 12 years.
