Critics Ratings

'One of the top wines from Henri Bourgeois, this is rich and ageworthy. Its green and white fruits push through a concentrated structure to give a dense wine with ripeness and great elegance.’ - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100 (Sep 2012)

‘This has lots of cut and verve, with lime, chive, flint and gooseberry notes crackling along, backed by a rapier finish where the flint edge ultimately wins out. Very solid. Drink now through 2015.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Nov 2012)

‘The Bourgeois 2010 Sancerre Jadis exhibits intensely pungent and almost candied mintiness that mingles in the nose with lanolin and resin notes from barrel. Silken-textured but tartly informed by apple and lime along with mouthwatering salinity, it finishes with considerable bitterness on top of chalky and peppery notes, for an impressively persistent if far from winsome effect. This is certainly Sauvignon with an attitude! I have the feeling that the lees have been beneficial in buffering tart and bitter elements here that would otherwise have become entirely excessive and deleterious.’ – David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Jun 2012)
