Henri Bourgeois is a renowned wine producer based in the Loire Valley, France. With a rich history dating back to the 19th century, the Bourgeois family has been dedicated to crafting exceptional wines that showcase the unique terroir of the region.
The story of Henri Bourgeois begins in the small village of Chavignol, where the family first planted vineyards in the late 19th century. Over the years, they have expanded their holdings to include vineyards in other prestigious appellations such as Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. Today, the estate is managed by the 10th generation of the Bourgeois family, ensuring a seamless continuation of their winemaking legacy.
