Gerard Boulay Sancerre Monts Damnes 2022

Who: Gerard Boulay
Where: Loire Valley, France
What: Sauvignon Blanc

Gérard Boulay can trace his wine-growing roots back to 1380, so you could figuratively say that the Boulay family wrote the book on Chavignol. He works predominantly with old vines, all planted by massale selection on quality rootstock (not the high-vigour SO4) and at a higher density than most Sancerre vineyards
(7500 vines per hectare).

Boulay’s bottling comes from 45-year-old vines on one of the steepest inclines of this majestic vineyard; a 40° south-facing plot on terres blanches soil (white, chalky clay and limestone), directly adjacent to Edm.
