Henri Bourgeois - Le temps des vendanges

Currently we harvest our single vineyard of Sauvignon blanc "Les Gardes". This marl kimméridgiennes single vineyard is located on a steep hillsides at the top of Chavignol. It is a hard work for the pickers and especially the back-basket men who must take care not to fall with a plenty back-basket when they will empty this one in the bucket.
The grapes, intended for the blending of our white Sancerre "Le MD de Bourgeois", are pressed whole then the juice is placed in stainless-steel vat during 24-48h at 8°C for a settling.
