avec ... ou sans ...errr? The damnèd mountain

Henri Bourgeois Sancerre Le MD de Bourgeois 2008
MD stands for Les Monts Damnés.
The other Bourgeois I have had have seemed like NZ Sauvignons with their mix of over- and under-ripe aromatics. This seemed to me mineral, ripe but not tropical, delightfully grassy; crisp, greenish (smells like peas to me) but still full bodied for Loire SB - yet it manages to still be moreish. Like the Gaudry, it seems to me almost tannic with its grippy structure. I liked it.


But I do admit that generally I still dislike this grape (even in the Loire) and that my positive experience might simply be due to inexperience.
