Wine: 2009 Henri Bourgeois Petit Bourgeois Sauvignon Blanc



This delightful white wine from the slopes of the Loire Valley is made by the trusted Sauvignon Blanc producer, Henri Bourgeois. Lively, zesty fruit bouquet of pear and apricot, mineral base, round in the mouth with an apple-butter aftertaste. At $14.95 for 750mL, it would be a great hostess gift for a summer dinner party. Pairing well with seared sea scallops, veal chops, partridge terrine, or mild semi-firm cheese such as gouda. I would also serve it with a mâche salad dressed with Champagne vinaigrette, or even a goat’s cheese cheesecake topped with passionfruit jam. Tonight I enjoyed my glass of Petit Bourgeois Sauv Blanc with an oven-roasted organic pork sausage from Rowe Farms.
