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.

Henri Bourgeois

A superb aperitif as soon as the sun hits your table. Whether to whet your appetite or to accompany your meal, this Sancerre rosé has a place of its own.

Vines grown on a terroir clays (65%) and limestone (35%), on the hills between Chavignol and Sancerre. The limestone gives the wine its backbone to the wine, while the clay gives it flesh. Yields are deliberately low, with high-density cultivation and inter-row grassing.



The harvest is carefully sorted and destemmed before being placed in vats by gravity. Direct pressing to preserve the freshness of Sancerre rosé. Thanks to the perfect ripeness of the grapes, the color is quickly transferred from the skin to the juice. Alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats (15 to 18°C). Aged on fine lees for 3 to 4 months.
