The Bourgeois family has dedicated itself to producing exceptional Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir wines, cultivating a mosaic of plots across 72 hectares. Their commitment to expressing the unique terroirs of Kimmeridgian Marl, Silex, and Limestone Clays has positioned them as one of the leading producers in the Loire Valley.\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, oversees both vineyard management 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.\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\"\u003eAfter gentle pressing, the juice undergoes natural clarification over two days. Fermentation occurs partly in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats and partly in 600-liter oak demi-muids. The wine is then aged for 12 months in these oak barrels, with manual stirring to bring the lees back into suspension, enhancing roundness and complexity. Racking and bottling follow the lunar cycles, and the wine rests in vats for an additional 6 to 12 months before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e14.5%\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\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2022 Jadis exhibits a bright green-gold color with expressive and complex aromas of exotic fruits, green mango, citrus, honey, and a hint of menthol.

The wine offers remarkable length and a particularly long-lasting finish.\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\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis Sancerre pairs wonderfully with dishes that combine local and exotic flavors, particularly fish or white meats with sweet and savory elements.
