Gerard Boulay Sancerre Comtesse, Loire, France 2023

Sancerre “Comtesse” 2023 is the pinnacle cuvée from this revered Chavignol estate, sourced from a prized parcel on the famed Monts Damnés hillside in Sancerre. Planted to old vines in classic Kimmeridgian limestone, it delivers extraordinary depth and precision. The 2023 vintage shows layers of ripe citrus, white peach, and subtle floral notes wrapped around a powerful core of chalky minerality and saline energy. Broad and textured yet driven by vibrant acidity, this is a structured, age-worthy Sancerre with a long, focused finish. A compelling partner for lobster, scallops, or aged goat cheese, and a benchmark example of terroir-driven Loire Sauvignon Blanc.
