Lying at the convergence between 3 distinct geological ages, Clos Henri has one of the most distinctive soil morphologies in the Marlborough Valley. Paying homage to these unique terroirs and revealing the true nature of these wines is the ultimate objective of the Bourgeois Family. Our Single Vineyard cuvées tell the story of the simplicity and elegance offered by the confluence of glacial and windswept terroirs.

Named for the Waimaungan Glaciation period that was instrumental in forging this unique terroir, this Sauvignon Blanc has an intense generosity on the palate which is followed by a textural, saline finish.

SERVE WITH: Fresh gurnard, white wine risotto and minted peas.

A vibrant and fresh style with ample lemon and lime citrus fruit, as well as zesty, tropical-fruit notes. The palate has a sleek, juicy feel with impressively rich and lithe appeal. (James Suckling, 92 points)

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.
