Famille Bourgeois : La Demoiselle de Bourgeois 2019

The aromatic intensity and finesse of a Loire white wine

The estate

Created in 1950 by Henri Bourgeois, Arnaud, Lionel and Jean-Christophe Bourgeois are the third generation at the helm of this family-owned estate.

With a 72-hectare surface area, the Famille Bourgeois vineyard extends over a tapestry of soils composed of clay-limestone, Kimmeridgian marl and flint, which contribute to the signature style of each of these Loire wines.

Through the passion and rigour brought to both the vineyard management and the plot-based vinification process, of which it was one of the pioneers, the Bourgeois family produces wines recognised for their quality, their finesse and their pure expression of each of their fine terroirs of origin.

The vineyard

La Demoiselle de la Famille Bourgeois is a Pouilly-Fumé wine that stems from a rigorous selection of grapes from St Laurent l'Abbaye, a commune with a subsoil of Kimmeridgian marl where the first vines of the appellation were planted.

Vinification and ageing

Fermentation, 85% in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and 15% in oak barrels from the Tronçais forest, is followed by ageing on fine lees for 7 to 8 months.

The blend

Sauvignon Blanc (100%).
