Producer:
Grape Variety:
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Note:
This outstanding wine comes from 40yo vines located on the central, finest plot of this famous hillside. Vinified in 3-4yo barrels (good Tronçais oak), then aged in cuve, it was bottled in August 2020. Restrained on the nose, it has much more evident weight and exotic fruit, then becomes really quite racy with salty, iodine notes on the finish. For drinking now to 2027.
Vinification:
Gerard Boulay is one of the greats of this tiny village and produces some of the most distinctive and sublime wines in Sancerre. He produces 60,000 bottles of fine wine from 11 hectares with Organic Viticulture.
