Gerard Boulay Sancerre Les Monts Damnes, Loire, France 2024

Sancerre Les Monts Damnés 2024 is a stunning expression of one of Sancerre's most famous and steepest vineyards, crafted by one of the appellation's most revered traditionalist producers. From the chalky, south-facing slopes of Chavignol, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc offers remarkable concentration and depth while retaining the electric acidity and mineral precision that define great Boulay. The 2024 vintage shows layers of lemon zest, white peach, ripe pear, citrus blossom, crushed stone, and subtle smoky minerality, with a beautifully textured palate that balances richness and tension. Long, complex, and remarkably age-worthy, Les Monts Damnés is a benchmark Sancerre that can evolve beautifully for a decade or more, making it an exceptional choice for serious Sauvignon Blanc lovers and Burgundy drinkers alike.
