The grapes are used exclusively for this wine. The grapes are harvested by hand when they reach perfect ripeness. The grapes undergo a slow, low-pressure pressing that can take up to three hours. The cold temperature of 8°C creates a natural separation between the lees and the wine. For four days, the lees are stirred daily to achieve the perfect texture and to fully reveal the aromatic potential. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for approximately 30 days. Fermentation begins at 15°C and gradually increases to 19°C. The wine is aged on the lees using the bâtonnage method until the following Christmas season, after which the wine is aged for a further nine months before bottling. Wonderful to drink after 3-5 years, the wine then gains more body and complexity!\u003cbr\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"henri-bourgeois-sancerre-les-baronnes","title":"Henri Bourgeois Sancerre Les Baronnes","description":"What a beautiful, refined Sancerre, made from the finest Sauvignon Blanc grapes, hand-selected.

It has since grown to 65 hectares. They are located in the hamlet of Chavignol, in the heart of Sancerre. This location is known for its steep slopes and abundant sunshine, allowing the grapes to benefit greatly during the ripening process. Bourgeois Winery produces a wide range of wines, maximizing the authenticity of the various terroirs. Today, the tenth generation is at the helm, and the expertise has been passed down from father to son. Furthermore, the emphasis is on respect for the soil and traditional winemaking techniques, without losing sight of modern techniques.\n\n\n \nLes Baronnes is made from grapes grown in vineyards between Chavignol and Sancerre. The vines are planted on slopes in a subsoil composed of a mixture of clay and limestone. This results in a wine with a lively and fruity character, with typical Sauvignon aromas. To preserve this, fermentation takes place at a low temperature, between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius, in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. This is followed by five months of aging on the fine lees. This gives Les Baronnes a beautifully ripe and rich character.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The smell and taste of Henri Bourgeois Sancerre Les Baronnes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The aroma reveals citrus fruit and a hint of gooseberry and minerals.
