The La Côte cuvée comes from a chalky terroir in Chavignol (La Grande Côte), cultivated organically on old, hand-harvested vines. Natural vinification with indigenous yeasts, fermented and aged in large oak casks and old vats without new oak. The result is a dry, precise, and mineral Sancerre, combining density, saline tension, and elegant clarity.

Domaine Gérard Boulay
Boulay's signature style is evident in the precision of the Sauvignon Blanc grown on the white soils and limestone stonies of Chavignol. The wines display ripe yet restrained fruit, a sleek structure, and the salinity found in the finest Sancerre. Aging in demi-muids, carefully integrated, imparts a silky texture without altering the aromatic profile. The single-vineyard cuvées—Monts Damnés and La Grande Côte—each express a nuance of slope and exposure. One of the most consistent and elegant estates in the village.
