Description

Successor to our ‘Chapel Block’ and named after Henri Bourgeois’ wife; the ‘Solange’ Methode Traditionelle honours her memory and her importance at Clos Henri. As the namesake for our famous Chapel, Solange carefully stands guard over the small parcels of Pinot Noir which grow in the Chapel’s view.

Delicate and capricious; offering delicately flavoured white juice, Pinot Noir provides the perfect base for our Blanc de Noirs.

Excerpts taken from Solange’s actual handwriting, form the center of the label. It is a sparkling wine with vivacity and elegance much like its namesake, it dances on the palate, the same way the native Tussock Butterfly flits across our clay bound hills.

SERVE WITH: Drink by itself as aperitif, or serve with fresh oysters and lemon curd.

Clos Henri – Our Story in Brief

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.

Uniting 10 generations of winegrowing know-how from the Bourgeois family, Clos Henri crafts textural and elegant wines, capturing the intense Marlborough character with the aim to reveal the identity of the Clos Henri terroir and a true sense of place in the 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 identity and depth of the Clos Henri terroir.

Our ultimate objective is to offer a wine that tells you the story of its origin, whispers he is not French but Marlborough and voices he is a craft from the specific Clos Henri terroir” – says Arnaud Bourgeois, General Manager.
