The Story
Read the full story →
Decades of farming knowledge compressed into every cluster, expressed in every bottle.
The hill of the damned. The name alone is reason enough to open it.
La Cote des Monts Damnes is the most prized terroir in Sancerre and Henri Bourgeois has been farming it from their home in Chavignol for ten generations. Delicate tropical fruit on the nose with clean mineral notes underneath. On the palate precise, refreshing, and focused with the kind of mineral finish that only comes from Sauvignon Blanc grown on this particular limestone hill. Sustainably farmed across 72 hectares. A Sancerre that earns its reputation every single time.
Vinokart Tasting Note
Textbook Sancerre from the legendary Kimmeridgian slopes of Les Monts Damnés, combining citrus intensity with wet-stone minerality and a saline, age-worthy backbone.
