Gerard Boulay, Sancerre La Cote, 2024
La Cote comes from La Grande Cote, a distinct Chavignol slope with its own personality—a southeast-facing site on chalky terre blanche, the pale Kimmeridgian marl that Sancerre lovers chase. Where Boulay's other single-vineyard bottlings lean toward power or structure, this one is all about tension and clarity: the most linear and high-toned of the four, with laser focus rather than weight. Boulay farms it organically and vinifies it simply—native yeasts, neutral barrels, no new oak—so the chalk and the site do the talking. It's a precise, mineral Sauvignon Blanc for drinkers who prize cut and definition.
