2023 Domaine Henri Bourgeois Sancerre ES-56, France, Loire Valley, Wine Review

This is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the eastern end of the Loire Valley in France.  The "ES-56" stands for the Eocene period in which the soils were created 56 Million years ago.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose features lemons, slight peach and gun flint.  Medium bodied.  Slightly oily texture.  On the palate, the lemon comes thru along with White Peaches and slight minerality.  Good finish.  This drinks well on its own and will work well with lighter foods.  Chicken Salad would be a nice pairing.  Drink over the next five to eight years.
