Boulay’s entry-level Sancerre is drawn from 35- to 50-year-old vines in the limestone soils of Chavignol. The sites are largely slopes on the lower flanks of the Chavignol hillside terroirs of Les Chasseignes, Les Longues Fins and La Rue de Veaux. Importantly, Boulay also includes fruit from his younger vines on the great hillside of La Grande Côte. The juice ferments spontaneously and rests for eight months on lees in tank, with a small volume also fermented in a single large wooden cask. This is the only blended wine in the Boulay line-up, yet even here, we can taste the finesse, texture and stony/earthy/salty minerality that has made this humble grower one of France’s most respected vignerons.
