Winemaker Notes
The delicate tropical fruit aromas (a proof of ripe Sauvignon grapes) and clean mineral and fruity palate testify to La Cote des Monts Damnes’ pedigree as an exceptional wine from one of the finest slopes in the Sancerre appellation. A nose of tropical fruit and passion fruit with citrus fruits. A very well balanced palate bursting with honey, grapefruit and a fresh citrus finish. A very elegant beauty.

The 2024 Henri Bourgeois Sancerre La Côte des Monts Damnés is a striking and terroir-driven expression, showing a light straw-yellow color and opening with pristine aromas of fresh-cut herbs, crushed stone, and tart citrus. On the palate, this satisfying wine is long, rich, and beautifully focused, offering an energetic surge of bright herbs and an explosion of ripe lemon that carries through a vibrant, mineral-laced finish. For a cool and regionally inspired pairing, serve it with matelote de poissons de Loire — a refined Loire Valley fish stew featuring delicate river fish gently simmered with leeks, shallots, herbs, and a splash of white wine — a dish whose freshness and subtle complexity harmonize elegantly with the wine’s precision, citrus vibrancy, and savory herbal depth.
