Country: France
Region and Appellation: Loire Valley Sancerre
Product Description
From the impossibly steep, 45-degree slopes of Les Monts Damnés ("The Damned Mountains"), this 2022 Sancerre by master vigneron Gérard Boulay represents one of the Loire Valley's most profound white wine experiences. The southeast-facing, Kimmeridgian limestone vineyards - farmed biodynamically by the Boulay family for generations - yield a Sauvignon Blanc of extraordinary mineral intensity and aging potential.
Tasting Profile:
🍋 Aroma: An electrifying bouquet of yuzu zest, white currant, and crushed oyster shell evolves into hints of acacia honey and struck flint
🍐 Palate: Laser-like precision of quince and preserved lemon gives way to a textured mid-palate reminiscent of liquid chalk
⚡ Structure: Razor-sharp acidity (pH 3.05) balanced by an almost imperceptible 2.1 g/L residual sugar
🕰️ Finish: A remarkable 45-second crescendo of wet stone and white pepper
