Henri Bourgeois Sancerre 75cl
AED 160.00
Crisp, citrusy, and ridiculously easy to love, this Sancerre is Sauvignon Blanc with its act together. Think lemon zest, grapefruit, and that clean “wet stone” edge that makes your mouth water. Straight from the Loire Valley’s Sancerre hillsides, it’s the kind of French white wine that instantly levels up seafood nights and patio pours, no effort required!

Bright, snappy, and laser-focused, this is the Sancerre you pour when you want a white wine that wakes everything up. It’s Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley’s Sancerre region, where cool-climate fruit and chalky soils team up to make wines that taste clean, precise, and seriously refreshing.
If you’ve ever had a white wine that felt flat or clunky, this is the fix. The acidity is lively, the flavours are sharp and clear, and there’s a stony, mineral edge that keeps every sip feeling like the first one. It’s not trying to be fruity juice. It’s trying to be the bottle you reach for when you want “crisp” to mean something.
Henri Bourgeois is a name people bring up for a reason. They’re based around Chavignol (a tiny village in Sancerre that wine nerds love), and their style leans into freshness and clarity, not heaviness. You get pure citrus, bright herbs, and that signature Sancerre snap.
- Appearance: Pale straw with green glints, clear and bright.
- Nose: Lemon peel, grapefruit, gooseberry, fresh-cut grass, and a flinty, wet-stone note.
- Taste: Zesty citrus and tart green fruit up front, then a clean mineral line, dry with high acidity that makes food taste better.
- Body: Light to medium-bodied, tight and energetic.
- Finish: Long, crisp, and slightly saline, with citrus pith and stone lingering.
Why it deserves shelf space, it’s the ultimate “reset” white. One glass clears the palate, the next makes you hungry. It’s also one of those bottles that stays interesting as it warms in the glass, more herbal at first, then more mineral and citrusy as you keep going.
And because it’s a classic Loire Valley white wine, it hits that rare sweet spot of being easy to drink while still having real depth. It’s the kind of bottle that makes you understand why people get obsessed with Sancerre in the first place.
Fun Fact: Henri Bourgeois is a family-run estate with roots in Sancerre going back 10 generations, and they’re known for working with multiple hillside parcels to capture different expressions of Sancerre’s famous limestone, flint, and clay soils.
