Wairau
Valley
(South Island) was the place chosen by Bourgeois family to plante their
vines. This place with a schists and sediments soil is the base for
Clos Henri's terroir.
The family with origins in french Loire Valley (Sancerre) establishes
a link between the two countries through a common variety for this
'Small Clos' : the White
Sauvignon.
This time runned in BIO as all state's wines.
Visually
a yellow straw colour with lot of legs. Good bright and without
defaults. An intense and complex nose (3 month with lees): citrus
fruit, lime or grappefruit...With the O2
effect there are a greats smokies, mineral and grass hints. Dry
entry in mouth, lively and crisp. Development with a good
minerality and fresh meadow touchs. A very good lingering mouthfeel
coming a pressed young grapefruit notes.
Bourgeoi's
family propose a price
around 15 euros for
this young, varietal and mineral Sauvignon. A Wairau's valley white
wine to serve 11º C with a lot of different matchs. I suggest you
Mussels over Linguine with Garlic
Butter Sauce, Pesto Grilled Shrimps or a Rosemary and Garlic Baked
Camembert with Honey… Pleasure matchs
for a every time wine.
