"A conscientious grower with a growing collection of old vines, Boulay’s wines – while delicious in youth – can be riveting after 7-12 years. From 50 year old vines in the choicest section of his new Mont Damnes vineyard, Boulay bottled a 2005 Sancerre Comtesse that displays a gorgeous nose of lime sherbet, honey, grapefruit, white peach, fennel, and a hint of Alsace Riesling-like petrol, as well as more chalky, Sancerre-typical minerality and brightness than its 2005 stable mates. Lush and rich on the palate – where peach and citrus are joined by honeydew melon – but clear and refined, this carries a billowing elegance into its creamy yet clear and refreshing finish, with mint, anise, and subtly chalky notes accenting the fruit."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
