Les Baronnes

2012 Sancerre White Blend

Henri Bourgeois Les Baronnes is a delightful white blend that showcases the finest qualities of the renowned Sancerre region. This wine exudes a charming pale golden hue, hinting at its elegance and sophistication. On the nose, it offers an aromatic bouquet of citrus fruits, green apple, and a touch of freshly cut grass, which are characteristic of the Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon varietals found in the blend. The palate is beautifully balanced, with a vibrant acidity that brings a refreshing brightness to the experience. The wine's texture is medium-bodied and round, providing a pleasant mouthfeel that invites another sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, delivering a medley of flavors that linger, complemented by a subtle minerality that elegantly reflects Sancerre's chalky terroir. This vintage is crafted to be dry, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with seafood dishes or enjoying on a warm afternoon.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
