The 2022 Gerard Boulay, "Chavignol" Sancerre, Loire was a Merchant's Pick
Sancerre Standout • One Shot, Once A Year!
May 10, 2023
Every Spring and with much anticipation, the wines of Gerard Boulay arrive.
Few producers rival Gerard Boulay. Nothing embodies a refreshing glass of Sauvignon Blanc like Boulay's Chavignol Sancerre.
Often compared to the Grand Cru vineyards of Burgundy for its limestone-based soil, Chavignol is a field of chalky-white stone that produces refined and immensely complex whites.
Replete with freshness and bright citrus minerality, Boulay's Sancerre displays classic gooseberry and lime zest aromas, which mingle with notes of minty herb, stone, almond and white flowers. It has a solid core of grapefruit, mandarin orange, lime, and wildflowers. It is one of the best Sancerres being made today!
Perched on the northern tip of Sancerre are the white limestone slopes of Chavignol, the finest Sauvignon Blanc growing region in the world.
Irresistible now, a mineral-infused core will allow you to enjoy it over the next five years!
Arugula salad, roasted peppers, goat cheese, and a glass of the 2022 Boulay Sancerre may very well be the best meal of the summer!
Only a few producers make a Chavignol Sancerre - and Boulay is at the top of that shortlist.
We only get one shot at this wine each year - and this is it!
Enjoy!
