Clos Henri is the brave new frontier for the Bourgeois family. Already in their 10th generation of wine making in Sancerre they have taken their profound understanding of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir to Marlborough. Farming biodynamically, they produce great New Zealand wines with a French sensibility. Drier and more mineral than many Marlborough wines, they are terroir-driven: completely satisfying, but with endless subtleties. Master of Wine Bob Campbell gave the Clos Henri Estate Pinot Noir 91 Points and wrote an excellent description: “Deliciously fruity Pinot Noir with an array of ripe fruit flavours including strawberry, red cherry and plum. The wine is beautifully, if delicately structured with fine, sweet tannins. Wonderfully accessible but with at least moderate cellaring potential. The finish is dry and long.” Drink this delicious Pinot Noir with salmon, Peking duck, spicy dishes or any other meats. Also a good partner for a Teriyaki Steak with Wasabi Butter or a Duck Casserole with Mushrooms!
