Gérard Boulay La Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Gerard Boulay has become an essential source in this village for rock solid, exceptionally transparent Sauvignon, with wines that display tension, length and longevity. They are as complete as anything produced in Sancerre today. His wines marry the intensity and complexity of Chavignol's other noteworthy producers, the Cotats andamp; Vatan, to a nerve and grace akin to the very best of Chablis, which shares the same Kimmeredgian soils as Chavignol. For all the immediate joy that they can give in their youth, they are truly at their best with a few years of bottle age. This comes from about a half hectare of south-facing vines planted in the La Grande Cote vineyard. Aged in a combination of larger older barrel and tank and bottled unfiltered. This skillfully combines power and concentration with a firm spine and will reward cellaring even in this charming vintage. andnbsp;

Pop and pour, notes from 2 hrs open. A bit more than a year since my last btl. On the nose: loads of grassy notes and sour apple, with some lemon peel in the background. On the palate: excellent acidity, and good juiciness with sweet apple, vanilla, and loads of wet stone. Comes off as sweeter than I remember. A touch short on the finish, which shows juicy with black pepper spice and the smallest bit of heat.
