Gérard Boulay
Chavignol Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc
Nice minerality, definitely herbal. Missing some of the weight I’ve come to love with Sancerre of this caliber.

Jun 9th, 2024The 2022 Sancerre is a tender, rounded wine with delicate pineapple, floral and pear aromas. It's gentle with a fine line of ripe acidity, providing gentle refreshment. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, July 2023)

Jun 20th, 2020We really love the first tier bottle from Boulay, a wonderful value for $25. Nose has intense chalky limestone with grassy citrus zest. The palate is like spring wheat grass, yet it has the drying aspect of chalkboard dust (right on), and a medium level acid. It has tamed somewhat since our last experience, in a good way.

Sep 29th, 2017Yum Sancerre!
Grassy nose, nice mineral, elementary school chalk dust components. Palate had great, balanced acidity, light citrus and chalk/limestone. Really improving in the glass as the wine warms and gets some fresh air.
Chilling out on the patio on a wonderful 70° Berkshires afternoon, perfect mid-summer day.
