Famille Bourgeois - Dégustation et vente

Absolutely amazing experience today with our host Ziggy at Famille Bourgeois! Ziggy was extremely knowledgeable and upbeat, making our experience so fun! Thank you so much for the lovely visit!!

While visiting Sancerre, my wife and I randomly popped into the tasting room one afternoon where we were warmly greeted. The person (I feel terrible for not remembering his name) who lead us through our tasting took special care to explain the characteristics of each hectre where the vintage was produced. They patiently answered our questions and made us feel quite welcome. After an incredible 15 tastings we inquired about shipping to the to US (we would have purchased a case on the spot) but were informed that we could buy through VinConnect. Understandably the cost will be higher due to tariffs, shipping, etc.. Still, we were pleased there is a way to buy for those who are interested. Overall, our two day visit to Sancerre was complete and our visit to Famille Bourgeois was certainly the highlight of our visit. As a note… If you plan to visit any winemakers in the region, go the the House of Sancerre first and watch the excellent film they offer that explains how the region was formed, and what makes Sancerre so exceptional.

Alex, our guide, did a great job! A nice tour of the winery, in which she told lots of interesting facts and historic stories. Afterwards we tasted at least 12 wines. Red and white. Very nice

Friendly and informative tasting (fluent English) with amazing wines. If you don't learn something about terroir during this tasting, it's time to give up hope. Highly recommended.

Wonderful degustation with the friendliest staff, Émilie. I would say this was the highlight of our trip around the Loire Valley. Émilie was very knowledgeable, friendly and amazing how she spoke 3 languages for us to understand, as we were Australian, French and Mexican. The wine was delicious and my favourite wine was "Le Clos" Château Fouquet. Would highly recommend if you're in the area.

Very nice gentleman who got us the welcome. We were helped about different reccomendatios and finally we bought La Bourgeoise Rousse (2014), and Les Baronnes Rosé (2016). Great experience!

No need to talk about anything else, you go there for the wine and you are not disappointed. This is the place to visit if you are an amateur of fine wine.

Fantastic day tasting the best of Sancerre!
