Henri Bourgeois is a leading manufacturer in the Loire Valley, specializing in Sauvignon Blanc from Chavignol in Sancerre. The portfolio includes red, white and rosé wines from Sancerre, as well as a pair of Pouilly-Fumé wines. The property was founded in the 1960s on several acres in Chavignoles. Along with his sons Remy and Jean-Marie, Henri Bourgeois extended this property to several villages, and in the 1980s a modern, eco-friendly basement was built, which was later converted into a gravity-fed facility. Now about 72 hectares (178 acres) of vineyards are divided into 120 parcels. Along with Sancerre wines made from Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, Henri Bourgeois produces Sauvignon Blanc wines from Menetu-Salon, Quincy and Coteau du Gienois, as well as Pinot. Noir de Menetou-Salon and Pinot Noir - Gamay de Châteaumeillant. The range also includes Cabernet Franc, Rosé Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc under the PGI Val-de-Loire name. The vines are cultivated with organic fertilizers and cover crops without weed control. Individual packages are collected by hand and carefully sorted. The wines are aged on fine lees before bottling. Henri Bourgeois also owns Clos Henri, an eco-friendly property in Marlborough, New Zealand.
