Tasting - Gerad Boulay Sancerre Chavignol


Name - Gerad Boulay Sancerre Chavignol

Variety - Sauvignon Blanc

Region- Loire

Country- France

Year - 2011

Price - $27.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review - Much more than a simple quaffer with its aromas of candied grapefruit, Mandarin organ, lime and wildflowers.  But what really sets it apart is its mineral-infused personality.  These are wines of the soil, wines that echo the land wit precision and delineation found in only the greatest of white wines.  Compreised from the Boulsay's many small parcels around the hamlet of Chavinol considered to be the finest spot in all of Sancerre.

My Review - The color of this wine was clear, pale yellow.  The aroma had a strong pear scent.   The palate was a smooth texture, low acidity, and strong fruit flavors.

Food- none
