History

Nestled under the southern foothills of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley, Clos Henri is the wine estate meticulously established and organically run by the famous Sancerre wine growing family of Henri Bourgeois.

Combining 10 generations of winegrowing know-how from the Bourgeois family, Clos Henri crafts textural and elegant wines from the three different soil types of the estate, partially comprised of a clay hill slope, the family uses the best of French and New World winegrowing techniques to capture the essence of Marlborough’s intense character and reveal the unique identity and depth of the Clos Henri terroir.

“Our ultimate objective is to offer a wine that tells you the story of its origin, whispers he is not French but Marlborough and voices he is a craft from the specific Clos Henri terroir” 
says Arnaud Bourgeois, General Manager.

Vineyards

Terroir, pronounced “tehr-wahr”, is a French term that expresses the combination of soil, weather conditions and style of winegrowing and winemaking. These three elements bring a specific identity and a sense of place to the wine.

A terroir can be spread as a region or be as specific as a small part of an estate. The Bourgeois family feels the terroir they found at Clos Henri is a wonderful gift that implies respect to the land, which has led us to the use of natural practices in the vineyard and winery.

The land at Clos Henri represents a very unique crossroad of three different soil types. It is quite an unusual phenomenon to acquire a piece of land with not one but three unique soil structures, all on one 110 hectare estate. The reason we have three kinds of soils is due to previous geological movements forming the Wither hills on our southern boundary, and theWairau seismic fault line which runs through the estate, resulting in two different soil types lying beside each other on the plain.

It’s remarkable to get such soil diversity within a small area and this immensely appealed to the Bourgeois family when deciding where to plant their New Zealand vineyard.
