Henri Bourgeois 2014 Petit Bourgeois Sauvignon Blanc (Vin de France)

Country: France / Petit Bourgeois
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc France Other
Winery: Henri Bourgeois / Vin de France

Although this wine is labeled Vin de France—meaning the grapes can come from all over France—in practice this is Loire Sauvignon Blanc. It is grassy and herbal with gooseberry fruits and a tangy citrus edge. In its intensity and ripe aftertaste, it reveals lessons the Bourgeois family has drawn from its New Zealand vineyard.
