Note di degustazione
The 2020 Sancerre Blanc La Côte des Monts Damnés opens with an intense and refreshing bouquet of ripe lemons, cassis and crushed oysters. On the palate, this is a rich, dense and full-bodied, firmly structured and quite powerful Sancerre from this very steep, south/southwest-facing slope in Chavignol that is composed of Kimmeridgian marls. The finish is still young and tannic, but after another year, this should be transformed to roundness and even more richness. 14% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in March 2022.

Informazioni sul produttore
Although the family had long grown vines in Sancerre, it was in the 1950s that Henri Bourgeois started championing the wines of Chavignol. The property grew from two to 65 hectares, spread between Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and is one of the standard-bearers for the region.
