Henri Bourgeois Sancerre Les Baronnes Rouge
Wine Information
This Sancerre rouge is created from Pinot Noir vines growing on chalkyclay soils. To express its finesse and aromatic richness, some specific production conditions are needed due to its relative «fragility»: among others, a climate neither too hot nor too cold, and a well-drained soils such as the one in Sancerre.
Vinification begins with fermentation in tanks (12 days of maceration) at 26 to 32°C during which time the cap is punched and the must pumped over twice daily in order to extract a maximum of colour and tannins from the skin grape. Once the malolactic fermentation is achieved, the wine is matured for 6 to 8 months in oak barrels from the Center of France (Tronçais, Bertranges & Limousin forests) (1/3 of which are replaced yearly)
