Gerard Boulay Sancerre Chavignol 2011

  • Region: Loire Valley
  • Country: France
  • Year: 2011
  • Price: $27.95
  • Shop review:
    • "Much more than a simple quaffer with its aromas of candied grapefruit, Mandarin orange, lime, and windflowers.  But what really sets it apart is its mineral-infused personality.  These are wines of the soil, wines that echo the land with precision and delineation found in only the greatest of white wines.  Comprised from the Boulay's many small parcels around the hamlet of Chavignol- considered to be the finest spot in all of Sancerre."
  • My review:
    • This was a fantastic white wine.  It had strong lime and citrus notes which made it light and refreshing.  It was very fruity and easy to drink.
  • I did not have this wine with food.
  • Tasted at the Vintage Cellar wine tasting on 03/02/2013.
