This is an impressive Sancerre with depth. Aromas of white rose petal, pear blossom and Golden Delicious apple open on the nose of the forest-floor-centered wine. The palate is bathed with attractive mouthwatering acidity that refreshes with apple blossom and completes with a floral-led finish that leans into crushed stone.

Grapefruit, mango pits, subtle sandalwood and jasmine aromas follow through to an elegant yet firm palate. Full-bodied with spicy and salty nuances. Drink or hold.

An attractive Sancerre, with inviting notes of paraffin, heather and chamomile layered with melon, peach, green herbs and a lemony freshness. Fleur de sel and mineral energy hums loudly throughout, bringing lightness to the concentration. Drink now through 2030. 500 cases imported.

The label of the Henri Bourgeois Jadis declares this wine 'a reminder of the sea that was once and is no more', a reference to the shallow sea that once covered Sancerre and has left its traces in fossilised seashells in the soil. The wine does indeed smell of a bracing sea breeze. The palate is centred around a beautiful mineral acidity that derives from the complex blend of soils. The vines grow on south-facing slopes of Kimmeridgian marls, flint and siliceous clay in the village of Amigny, and the grapes are picked by hand. This is a full-bodied, full-flavoured and highly characterful wine that will not disappoint. Ages on its lees in used oak for a year.
