Gérard Boulay | Sancerre à Chavignol
-local Athens, Georgia area pick-up only-
This refined and complex white wine is produced by Gérard Boulay, a distinguished winemaker located in the village of Chavignol within the renowned Sancerre appellation of the Loire Valley, France. Known for his dedication to traditional winemaking practices and organic farming, Boulay crafts wines that beautifully express the unique terroir of his vineyards.
Gérard Boulay Sancerre à Chavignol is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes, sourced from old vines planted on the steep, chalky slopes of Chavignol. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and is aged on its lees in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak barrels. This careful process results in a wine that is both vibrant and deeply expressive.
The wine showcases a bright, pale yellow color and an aromatic bouquet of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, with subtle hints of flint and wet stone. On the palate, it offers crisp acidity and flavors of lemon zest, grapefruit, and a touch of minerality, leading to a long, elegant finish.
Pairings
This versatile Sancerre pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including seafood, light salads, and goat cheese. Its bright acidity and mineral profile make it an excellent match for sushi, ceviche, and grilled vegetables. Enjoy it as an aperitif or with any light meal for a refreshing and sophisticated experience. -AO
