Domaine Henri Bourgeois is a 10th-generation family-owned estate, with its heart in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. The family, including members Jean-Marie, Arnaud, Lionel, and Jean-Christophe Bourgeois, extends its philosophy to Marlborough, New Zealand, through the Clos Henri vineyard, founded by brothers Jean-Marie and the late Rémi Bourgeois. The entire 72-hectare estate is now certified organic (from the 2023 vintage), employing fair and natural viticultural practices to authentically express its diverse terroirs.
