Henri Bourgeois has been making wine in Sancerre for generations — one of the Loire Valley’s great family estates, with a reputation built on the precision, minerality, and aromatic lift that define the region’s best Sauvignon Blanc. The Petit Bourgeois is their welcome to the broader Val de Loire appellation: the same house philosophy, the same commitment to quality, at a price point that makes it one of the most compelling values in French white wine.
The 2025 is sourced from carefully selected Loire vineyards and vinified to preserve the grape’s natural freshness and vivacity. Remarkably aromatic on the nose — citrus blossom, green apple, gooseberry, and a whisper of passion fruit — it opens with the kind of floral, fruit-forward intensity that makes Loire Sauvignon Blanc so immediately appealing. On the palate, bright acidity and a clean, lively texture carry flavors of lemon zest, crisp apple, and fresh herbs through to a refreshing, precise finish. Pure, focused, and effortlessly drinkable. Sealed with a screwcap for freshness.
