Famille Bourgeois, now in its 11th generation, covers 72 hectares of the esteemed Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé appellations. Brought to fruition by Henri Bourgeois over 50 years ago, the vineyards lie on some of the most rugged hillside terrains, offering the best exposures in the Loire Valley. From cultivating two hectares on the slopes of Chavignol, he took the audacious step in the 1950s of concentrating on his vines in an as yet unknown area. His sons, joined him in the 1960s and continued the adventure.

History

A series of small valleys cut through the chalk each with their own microclimate and terrior. The hills and ridges separating the village of Chavignol from Sancerre are composed of clay (65%)and Limestone (35%).

Current Vintage

Les Baronnes Sancerre rosé is a bled rosé. Juice is obtained by draining vats of Pinot Noir juice after 48 hours of cold maceration. The alcoholic fermentation is conducted in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks (16-18°C) followed by 4 to 5 months of maturation on its fine lees in order to have longer fermentations and more intense aromas.
