Henri Bourgeois- Etienne De Loury Sancerre La Porte du Caillou Rouge 2023

About the Winery: “La Porte du Caillou” basically reads like “the gate/door of the stone,” which is very Sancerre-coded.  It reflects the limestone, flint, and stony soils of Sancerre, giving the wine that lifted mineral edge.  For 10 generations, we have offered our passion and values as winegrowers to  develop Sauvignon Blancs and Pinot Noirs of great character. Each member of our family, Jean-Marie Bourgeois, Arnaud, Lionel and Jean-Christophe, bring their talent to the Domaine. Established in Chavignol, in the heart of the best terroirs of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, we cultivate a mosaic of plots respecting our unique terroirs of Kimmeridgian Marl, Silex and Limestone Clays.

Tasting Notes: This Pinot Noir has beautiful deep ruby-violet colors with aromas of very ripe red fruits (cherry, blackberry, and raspberry). The nose is intense and well-integrated, with red fruits, floral notes and roasted coffee beans. There are also hints of graphite and cinnamon, very round and smooth.

Varietal: Pinot Noir.
