Clos Henri Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2025 - 750ml

94pts James Suckling

Very elegant, superfloral and perfumed, with some flinty reduction, offering acacia blossoms, hay, fleshy lemons and a touch of elderberries. Medium-bodied with firm acidity giving structure and length. Attractive bitter-lemon note in the finish. Mineral and detailed with real focus. From organically grown grapes.

Quite restrained with subtle aromas of earth, green olive, green pineapple and a hint of gorse flowers. The palate harbours density and depth under the shell of acidity and phenolics. Gravel, hessian and wet stone complexity rise alongside a touch of dried spice on the bone-dry finish. Accessible and expressive, this mid-weight sauvignon oozes with sophistication

The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc leads with graphite and cold tea, chalky tannins and dried grasses on the palate. The wine is far more subtle and restrained than many other Sauvignon Blancs tasted for this report, and this does fit with the assessment I hold for this producer over time. These are classy wines. This is a classy wine. Clos Henri is owned by the Bourgeois family of Sancerre (Domaine Henri Bourgeois), and it is clear that the sensibilities of their estate there are continued by their winemaker Damien Yvon here in Marlborough. This is an estate to put on your list. Clos Henri is a member of the Appellation Marlborough Wine (AMW) group. 13.5% alcohol.

The 2025 Clos Henri ESTATE SAUVIGNON BLANC Marlborough shows a light straw hue and opens with decidedly morning garden herbal aromas touched by minerality; crisp and lively on the palate with excellent bite, it delivers tangy citrus and mineral-driven flavors that carry through to a frisky, energetic finish, and with herb-crusted lamb and fresh goat cheese finds a seamless connection, where the wine’s herbal lift mirrors the seasoning while its bright acidity cuts cleanly through the richness, leaving each bite refreshed and ready for the next.

Winemaker Notes

Bright and inviting, this Estate Sauvignon Blanc has notes of ripe citrus, orange blossom and white peach. Juicy, with rich ripe stone fruits, the palate offers a refreshing acidity with satisfying weight and length. A wine showing excellent purity of place, there is a lingering mineral finish.
