Petit Bourgeois Sauvignon Blanc VDP 2022
About
For 10 generations, the Bourgeois family has put effort and emotion into working in the vineyard, creating wines and sharing their personalities. For their ancestors, the vine was already a passion to which they devoted themselves wholeheartedly, in addition to the necessary food crops and the raising of a few goats. But the actor of the great turning point in the history of the family was Henri Bourgeois. Starting from the cultivation of two hectares on the hills of Chavignol, he took the bold gamble, in the 1950s, to devote himself to his vines in a region that was still little known. Quality wines were born there, to which he lent his name.
The grapes come from the slopes of the Loire Valley known as “The Garden of France”. After a delicate pressing, it is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats (16-17°C), then the "Petit Bourgeois" is aged for 3 months on its fine fermentation lees in order to reveal all the aromas of the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. A wine with a fruity and floral bouquet, this wine belongs to the family of great Sauvignon Blanc marked by this unique expression.
