Product Description
From the hallowed limestone slopes of Clos de Beaujeu, one of Chavignol's most prestigious lieux-dits, comes this benchmark 2023 Sancerre by legendary producer Gérard Boulay. This vintage presents a brilliant pale gold robe with green reflections - a visual promise of the crystalline purity within.
The nose unfolds with remarkable precision:
• Primary notes: Meyer lemon zest, just-ripe Williams pear
• Subtle complexities: Wet river stones, white peach blossom
• Boulay signature: A whisper of passionfruit that emerges with air
The palate delivers textural sophistication rare in Sauvignon Blanc:
✓ Attack: Vibrant kaffir lime and Granny Smith apple
✓ Mid-palate: Creamy yet weightless, like liquid limestone
✓ Finish: Extraordinary 30+ second persistence with a flinty mineral signature
