Tasting Notes For Henri Bourgeois Sancerre d'Antan 2023

Henri Bourgeois Sancerre d'Antan 2023 is a captivating expression of the Sancerre appellation in France's Loire Valley. This exceptional wine offers a sensory journey that begins with a delicate, pale straw color in the glass, hinting at its elegance. On the nose, it unveils a bouquet of intense aromas, dominated by vibrant citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon zest, interwoven with subtle hints of green apple and freshly cut grass. These aromatics are further complemented by a mineral undertone that evokes the region's renowned flinty soils.

Upon the first sip, Sancerre d'Antan 2023 reveals its true finesse. The palate is alive with a lively acidity that dances alongside the citrus fruits, creating a refreshing and zesty profile. The wine's bright acidity is harmoniously balanced by a medium body and a creamy texture, which adds depth to the overall experience. As the wine lingers on the finish, it leaves a lasting impression of minerality and a touch of salinity, reminiscent of the terroir from which it originates.

Critic Ratings

Wine Spectator Review - Rated 92:

A refined, elegant version, with cool greenness behind its open-knit notes of green plum, jicama and gooseberry, all filigreed with celery seed, fennel and mountain herbs. Offers cooling mineral precision on the springy, fresh finish, which shows luminance, complexity and length. Drink now through 2030. 580 cases imported.
