Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Flinty Clay Sand Limestone
Formerly ”Les Barrones”
A precise and dynamic wine, delicately balancing and assembling the crispness of Sauvignon Blanc with the
elegance of its typical Sancerre terroir.
Winemaking
In order to preserve and develop its aromatic potential, this fine wine is fermented in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks at 15 – 18°C. It is then matured on its fine lees at cool temperature during 5 months before bottling.
Aged for 5-6 months on its lees before bottling.
Sancerre and seafood is a timeless match.
Oysters and clams
Grilled prawns with lemon
Sea bass carpaccio
Calamari with fresh herbs
The wine’s acidity cuts through briny flavours and enhances the natural sweetness of shellfish.
This is the iconic regional pairing. Crottin de Chavignol, also from the same village, is the traditional partner.
Fresh goat’s cheese salad
Warm goat’s cheese tart
Goat’s cheese and herb bruschetta
The tangy cheese mirrors the wine’s acidity, while the minerality ties everything together beautifully.
Les Baronnes works wonderfully with clean, herb-driven preparations.
Roast chicken with thyme and lemon
Turkey escalopes with a light cream and herb sauce
Chicken Caesar salad
Avoid heavy, creamy sauces. Keep flavours fresh and balanced.
The wine’s freshness complements green and herbal notes.
Asparagus risotto
Courgette fritters with yoghurt dip
Pea and mint soup
Mediterranean vegetable tart
Its crisp structure keeps vegetable dishes lively rather than flat.
Provided the heat is moderate, Sancerre handles aromatic dishes well.
Sushi and sashimi
Thai salads with lime and coriander
Lightly spiced stir-fries
The citrus and herbal profile complements fresh, fragrant ingredients.
Serve at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius
Use a medium-sized white wine glass to allow aromatics to open
Enjoy within three to five years of vintage for maximum freshness
Henri Bourgeois Sancerre Les Baronnes is a versatile, elegant white that fits beautifully into Mediterranean dining, especially here in Cyprus where seafood and fresh salads are part of everyday life.
