Located in Chavignol, in the heart of the Sancerre region, the Bourgeois family has cultivated a mosaic of plots across 72 hectares, respecting unique terroirs of Kimmeridgian Marl, Silex, and Limestone Clays. Their commitment to expressing the character of these terroirs has positioned them as one of the leading producers in the Loire Valley.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Bourgeois family, including Jean-Marie Bourgeois and his sons Arnaud, Lionel, and Jean-Christophe, oversee the vineyard and winemaking processes.

This terroir imparts a distinct minerality to the wine. The region’s continental climate, with its warm summers and cold winters, provides ideal conditions for growing high-quality Sauvignon Blanc, contributing to the wine’s aromatic complexity and vibrant acidity.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e100% Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and quality.
