The weather is getting nicer and there is no better time for Sancerre! These
beautiful, vibrant wines come from the Loire Valley in France and represent some of the
best Sauvignon Blancs in the world. Here at the Oyster Bar, we are proud to offer three
expressions from Henri Bourgeois, who is known to be one of the premier producers in
the region.
Their entry level offering is nothing short of amazing but for those of you who
want to try something transcendent we also have their “Le Cote des Monts Damnes”
(The Coast of the Damned Mountains). These grapes are harvested from near vertical
slopes and produce some of the most coveted and concentrated whites in Sancerre.
The grapes for their third wine, “Sancerre d’ Antan” come from flinty, silex soils and very
little is produced. It is pure and harmonious and by far, the most delicate of them all!
There is no better pairing for our fresh oysters. Come on in and try a bottle for
yourself!
