Sancerre is one of the most well-regarded wine districts within the Loire Valley in France. Sancerre is to Sauvignon Blanc as Burgundy is to Chardonnay.
We have an amazing 93 point Sancerre to share with you, 2022 Henri Bourgeois Sancerre La Cote Des Monts Damnes. The Henri Bourgeois family has been based in the village of Chavignol for ten generations, and their 2022 La Cote Des Monts Damnes is a great example of delivering the depth Sancerre can attain with a broad spectrum of aromas and flavors, along with textbook chalky sea shell texture.
When it comes to villages, Chavignol is the Puligny Montrachet of Sancerre with many producers focusing on its name more than the region. Taking into consideration exposure, steepness, and soil complexity, Monts Damnes is the unofficial Grand Cru of Chavignol - in essence a blend of Batard, Chevalier and Montrachet for Sancerre!
“The domaine is one of Sancerre’s biggest and most savvy producers. They have parcels in some of the finest vineyards in Sancerre…” - Vinous Media
All this pedigree for just $39.99! This Sancerre is worth picking up to enjoy this coming spring, summer and for a decade to come! It’s drinking well now - 2033.
Cheers!
