Please meet our favorite Sancerre producer who is soon to be yours as well. A friend turned us on to the Boulay family in Chavignol, long hallowed ground for Sauvignon Blanc, and after a staggering tasting of more than 8 vintages I was in love. Never had I tasted such vivid clarity and expressiveness in Sancerre much less Sauvignon Blanc, the wines transcend what you think of the grape, they are much more than simple quaffers with aromas of candied grapefruit, mandarin orange, lime and wildflowers but what really sets them apart is their mineral infused personality, these are wines of the soil, that echo the land with precision and delineation found in only the greatest of white wines. 91 points Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar "Green-tinged straw. Initially wound-up nose opens to display a range of bright citrus, mineral and succulent herb aromas. Deep, racy lemon, lime, pear, quinine and anise flavors are nicely firmed by harmonious acidity. Firms up on the finish, which is impressively mineral-driven and long. This will reward three to five years of cellaring, at least."
