Historia

For 10 generations, the Famille Bourgeois has committed efforts and emotions to working with vines, creating wines, and sharing their personalities.

For the ancestors, the vine was already a passion into which they threw themselves, in addition to growing necessary subsistence crops and keeping a few goats.

However, the main figure of the turning point in the family’s history was Henri Bourgeois. From cultivating two hectares on the slopes of Chavignol, he took the audacious step in the 1950s of concentrating on his vines in an as yet unknown area. That is where were born wines of high quality to which he gave his name.

His sons, Jean-Marie and Rémi, joined him in the 1960s and continued the adventure. They discovered new terroirs, bought land, developed partnerships with other Sancerre families, and turned themselves into ambassadors for Sancerre’s reputation in France, then abroad.

Today, Arnaud, Lionel, and Jean-Christophe Bourgeois are just as much the heirs of those men as the initiators of the future of the vines and wines of the house.

A family working together, expressing its vivacity and its own generous personalities through its wines, which are now naturally associated with the name of “Famille Bourgeois”.

“Our philosophy of life and work celebrates the good, the beautiful, and the true, in the extreme accuracy of our viticulture and our wine-making, in respect for the environment, as well as in the generous aromas of the vintages that will foster sociable tasting sessions. Being a winemaker in Sancerre is to love sharing moments when sometimes the slopes are swept by the wind while at others they are bathed in sunlight, and to tell you of those moments through wine.” – Bourgeois Family

“Terroirs form the basis of our work and of our inspiration as winegrowers. The variety of our vineyard enables us to present you with the whole range of flavours of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé.” – Bourgeois Family

Across a mosaic of several dozen plots of land spread across 72 hectares, the Famille Bourgeois illustrates all the nuances and reliefs of the flavours of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé.

It imagines its wines and tells their stories starting from their roots, which go deep into the heart of three types of soil present in the vineyard:

  • clay-limestone, which gives rise to fresh, fruity vintages;
  • Kimmeridgian marls, the memories of fossilised shells from the Jurassic Era that give intense flavours of exotic fruits and a superb structure;
  • flint, which initiates elegant wines with smoky, roasted notes and minerality of great finesse.

Those fresh terroirs of the Loire give rise to wines with a great mineral feeling.

Viinivalmistus

The family’s art of wine is based on both the legacy of the ancestors and the technicality and instinct of Arnaud, Lionel, and Jean-Christophe Bourgeois, whose three voices today sound in unison to create vintages.

Aspiring to the work of a goldsmith, to something hand-crafted, they are attentive to each detail in the vines and cellars.

It is the sum total of all those details, at each stage in the life of wine, that sketches out the know-how of the Famille Bourgeois.

Vines are cultivated with respect for the environment and so that nature blossoms forth. The grapes of each plot are tasted so that each one is harvested at optimum maturity. Grapes of which the flavours are then expressed with complete respect for the fruit, within a gravity cellar of which the architecture plunges deep into the hill of Chavignol.

The Famille Bourgeois is a pioneer in plot-based winemaking in the Sancerre region. In that way it extracts the purest expression from each terroir. Next come winegrowing and maturing wine in a cellar, adventures that are embarked upon each year to best showcase the personality of the vintage.
