Comtesse is Boulay's rarity—a tiny old-vine cuvee drawn from his oldest vines, planted just after WWII at the foot of the famed Monts Damnes slope, right next door to Vatan's revered Clos la Neore. Here the Kimmeridgian marl runs deeper and richer, and the section catches more warmth, so this is the most powerful and textural of Boulay's single-vineyard Sancerres. Made in minuscule quantities from very low-yielding vines, it's fermented with native yeasts and raised in neutral barrels—no new oak, nothing to get between you and the site. If you want to know why Chavignol earns its reputation among France's great terroirs, this is the bottle. [Pre-Arrival]

More about Gerard Boulay

Sancerre royalty. Nine hectares in Chavignol on the white limestone soils (exactly like Chablis). Family history traces back to 1380. Gérard works organically since 1990, adds no yeast, barely any SO2. Lets the wine live on instinct. These are profound, complex Sancerres that age for 10-20 years like it's nothing.
