Sancerre, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
Some serious power and amplitude here. Vibrantly fruited, supported by the deep chalky tones of this terroir. Oro blanco, candied pear, quince, some exotic tones like pineapple and mango. There’s an underlying grip and phenolic bite, thick skins, adding extra dimension. The cool herbs break late and more with aeration, aloe and chervil. Classic Boulay in its pleasure factor.

Starts out like typical Sancerre with fresh grapefruit and citrus but broadens to rich pineapple and tropical nuances. Candied grapefruit, a touch of ginger spice, hint of mango; all buttressed by strong minerals.. Full of acidity, body, and steely minerality. This has it all.

One of my favorite producers but the 2018 is showing pretty ripe right now.

Good Sauvignon Blanc, but nothing special to justify its price. Standard grapefruit flavors with too much alcohol in the finish.

Another lovely btl of Boulay. On the nose: citrus blossom, ripe gooseberry, sweet apple, tarragon, other herbs. On the palate: lovely acidity, more tarragon, sour apple, gooseberry, and mint and white pepper on the finish.
