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.

Formerly Petit Clos, it is originally named for the young vines from which they were lovingly crafted. Moving away from ‘Petit Clos’ has been a natural evolution for this range, as these vines are now mature. They are stunning examples of the potential of this estate. The new Estate Range shows vivacity, concentration and brightness, the Estate wines are crafted from both our glacial stones and windblown clay terroirs. Combining the best nuances of Marlborough and the families Sancerre heritage, this organic Sauvignon Blanc is our flagship wine from the Clos Henri estate in Blenheim.

When re-imagining the labels, it seemed only fitting to pay tribute to the biodiversity by incorporating the indigenous species of the Marlborough Valley and sharing the story of the estates commitment to native replanting and re-establishment. We hope that our Sauvignon Blanc will transport you to a place where our organic vines thrive and coexist with an abundance of New Zealand native species such as kowhai and tui.
