Gerard Boulay Sancerre Comtesse 2008
With those thoughts in mind let's move onto this week's wine, a domaine that I am not hugely familiar with, although that is sure to change. Gérard Boulay comes from a line of vignerons that have been working the soils around Chavignol since at least the 14th century. He has 9 hectares of vines, almost all on the Kimmeridgian marl or terres blanches that characterise these slopes; the cuvée in question here, the Sancerre La Comtesse from the 2008 vintage, originates from a parcel of 65-year old vines which Boulay has been renting since 2004.
