Elaboration

The name Clos Henri inevitably brings to mind France, perhaps even Burgundy, where "clos" denotes a small enclosed vineyard, and thus a specific, delimited origin. This is the authenticity the Bourgeois family wishes to convey to their vineyard in the Wairau Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand. The French tradition of high planting density they have brought to Marlborough, resulted in the vines fighting each other for nutrients, resulting in fewer grapes but with a much greater concentration. The organically grown grapes for this wine come from the estate's younger Pinot Noir vines. The grapes ferment in open stainless steel tanks, then age for 11 months in 7,500-litre French oak barrels, which helps to underpin the wine's fine balance and tannic structure.

Taster´s notes

Petit Clos, Pinot Noir has floral notes of lavender and dried rose petals on the nose and palate, as well as red berries with spicy undertones. It is elegantly balanced, with good acidity, rounded tannins, and a light smoky note from the barrel ageing. We recommend pairing the wine with red meat, especially gamey options like lamb and duck. We suggest a serving temperature of 16ºC

The Winery

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.
