WINE DESCRIPTION

Henri Bourgeois' Pouilly-Fumé En Travertin is an exquisite white wine from the Loire Valley in France, a region famed for its exceptional Sauvignon Blancs. Coming from a family estate with ten generations of winemaking expertise, this Pouilly-Fumé epitomizes the best of what the appellation can offer. The vineyards are located on unique silex (flint) and limestone soils, known as "Travertin," which contribute to the wine's characteristic minerality and complexity. Employing sustainable viticulture practices, Henri Bourgeois focuses on extracting the purest expression of terroir. The grapes are harvested manually and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve their freshness and aromatic intensity.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Henri Bourgeois Pouilly-Fumé En Travertin is a beautiful and complex Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley in France.On the nose, it has aromas of lemon, lime, green apple and a hint of white flowers. On the palate, it has a mineral-driven core, with a good balance of acidity and a long, clean finish. Flavors of grapefruit, gooseberry, and white peach dominate, with subtle notes of lemongrass and grassy herbs. This is an elegant, well-balanced white that will pair well with shellfish, salads, and light cheeses.
