89 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "... honeydew melon, papaya, nut oils, candied orange peel, and caraway, on the nose of Boulay’s 2009 Sancerre Clos de Beaujeu migrate to a soft, lush, faintly warm (14.5%) palate that evinces a slight sense of sweetness from sheer ripeness, glycerin, and low acidity. (In fact, this has only 2 grams of residual sugar. Perhaps if he had been able, Boulay ought to have taken advantage of the formula “4+1 grams” permitted for the appellation in this extreme vintage, and thereby have spared his wine considerable alcohol.) A lovely scallop-like sense of sweet and saline savor characteristic for this cuvee lends depth to a lush and – save for its heat – soothing finish. This will doubtless appeal more to tasters who are not fans of classic Sancerre, and it should prove perfectly adaptable at table – just not in those places where its identity would lead you to expect. It also seems prudent to plan on serving this over the next couple of years, even though under normal circumstances I associate excellent aging potential with this cuvee." (08/10)
