The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Renowned in the Sancerre region and awarded 2 stars by the French wine guide the RVF, Gérard Boulay is a true master of Chavignol’s white, chalky soils—similar to those of Chablis and celebrated for producing wines with exceptional finesse and intense minerality.

On 14 hectares of the appellation’s most prized terroirs, he crafts wines with a strikingly pure mineral expression, free from overt varietal notes. These wines are powerful, structured, and built to age beautifully, showcasing depth and concentration.
Wine The 2022 White Sancerre La Côte comes from a 0.6-hectare chalk-rich terroir, bringing a distinct, stony character to the wine. The warmth of the vintage is beautifully managed here, giving it a vibrant freshness and tension without any excess. This is a wine built to age, ready to be enjoyed over the next decade. Rated 95/100 by the RVF.
Vinification Hand harvested, 25-year-old vines, vinified in vats, indigenous yeasts, matured in 300-litre barrels on fine lees without stirring, no new barrels.
