Description
The minerality and freshness of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
The estate
Nestling in the foothills of the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, Clos Henri is a great New Zealand estate run by a Sancerre landmark: the Bourgeois family, winemakers for 10 generations. Eager to reveal the finest terroirs of Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, Rémi and Jean-Marie Bourgeois set out to explore the world to find their pearl. After a long search, the family decided to set up in New Zealand, founding Clos Henri in 2000. Today, the estate comprises 110 hectares of vines, 42 hectares of which are certified organic.
The vineyard
Rich in glacial soils, the estate has one of the most varied terroirs in the Marlborough Valley. Marked by three distinct geological periods, the soil is made up of layers of Aeolian clay and rolled pebbles.
Winemaking and ageing
Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc 2022 was given a delicate pressing before being put in stainless steel vats to begin fermentation. The wine was then aged on fine lees for three months.
