Tasting notes
From Kimmeridgian marl soils, the 2017 Sancerre La Côte des Monts Damnés opens with a more subtle and elegant bouquet compared to Les Baronnes. Passion fruit and black cassis flavors with some dashes of lemon juice lead to a full-bodied, intense and very elegant palate with a powerful and well-structured finish. Very long and with gooseberry flavors in the long aftertaste. This is a serious, structured and persistent Monts Damnés with an aging potential of up to 10 years.

About the producer
Although the family had long grown vines in Sancerre, it was in the 1950s that Henri Bourgeois started championing the wines of Chavignol. The property grew from two to 65 hectares, spread between Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and is one of the standard-bearers for the region.
