I don’t know of any other Sancerres that have so much soul and energy, so much tension and expression. Even the yellow labelled entry level is fascinating.
STEPHAN REINHARDT, Wine Advocate
The Boulay style is a world away from the regular refreshing but forgettable norm….…[it] should really be compared with a white burgundy in terms of its rewards and complexity.
JANCIS ROBINSON MW
This Boulay’s brilliant Sancerre is drawn from mature 35- to 40-year-old vines rooted entirely in the limestone soils of Chavignol. The multiple sites are largely sloping vineyards on the hillside terroirs of Les Chasseignes, Les Longues Fins and La Rue de Vaux. Importantly, Boulay also includes fruit from his younger vines growing on the great hillside terroir of La Grande Côte. The juice was naturally fermented and aged for eight months in tank on lees, with a small volume also fermented in a single large wooden cask.
This wine is the only blended cuvée in the Boulay line-up, yet even here we can taste the kind of finesse, texture, and stony/earthy/salty minerality that has made this humble grower one of France's most respected vignerons. A fleshier and more layered release than last year, drinkers can look forward to lifted aromatics and intense flavours of guava, orange rind, chamomile and white stone fruit. There’s a lovely rocky texture, and a deliciously zesty, salty finish. As always, it's a benchmark that showcases the remarkable terroir that is Chavignol. In the world we live in today, it's a serious bargain.
