The Estate
Arnaud, Lionel and Jean-Christophe Bourgeois are the third generation at the head of the family estate founded in 1950 by Henri Bourgeois. Covering 72 hectares, the vineyard of Domaine Henri Bourgeois extends over a mosaic of terroirs composed of clay-limestone soils, Kimmeridgian marls and flint, which contribute to the signature of each of these Loire wines.
Driven by the passion and rigor applied both to vineyard management and to parcel-by-parcel winemaking, of which they were among the pioneers, the Bourgeois Family produces wines renowned for their quality, finesse and pure expression of each of these great original terroirs.
The Vineyard
En Travertin de la Famille Bourgeois is a Loire wine from a vineyard farmed organically on the clay-limestone hills of Saint-Andelain. The soils consist of limestone rocks which give the wine its name, since travertine is a variety of this type of rock formed by sedimentation.
Winemaking and Aging
After the harvest, the grapes undergo gentle pressing and 24 hours of static settling. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at between 15 and 18°C. This long, low-temperature fermentation helps release more intense and delicate aromas. The fine lees maturation of this Pouilly-Fumé wine takes place over several months before bottling.
Grape variety
En Travertin 2024 du Domaine Henri Bourgeois is 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
