The 2022 La Côte is a meal of a wine with its sinew, richness of fruit and substance. Its natural muscle gives it grip, and the finish has a chewy, gourmand character and chalky texture. A touch more persistence would make it even better. Give this one time...and perhaps a knife and fork. ~ Vinous, Rebecca Gibb

If you are new to Boulay, you should know the following. Ironically, it is this historic winemaking family of Gerard Boulay that has become the hot, rising star challenging its legendary neighbors of Vatan and Cotat. Since 2012, these understated, finesse-driven whites have been among the highest-rated Sancerres from the Wine Advocate and John Gilman’s View from the Cellar and we agree! The family domaine with nine hectares located in Chavignol can trace its history back more than 600 years. Most of the vineyards are positioned on the prized slopes of Chavignol on Kimmeridgian or “terre blanche” soils. There are similarities here that are found in the soils of Champagne and Chablis. The wines produced on Kimmeridgian are some of the most distinguishing, soil-inflected, and terroir-driven Sauvignon Blancs produced in the Loire Valley, with a delineation and minerality often reminiscent of traditional and exceptional Chablis.
