The La Côte cuvée comes from the chalky terroir of Chavignol (La Grande Côte), where the old vines are cultivated organically and tended by hand. The wine is made using natural winemaking methods with indigenous yeasts, fermented and aged in large oak casks and old stainless-steel tanks without the use of new wood. The result is a dry, precise, and mineral-driven Sancerre that combines density, briny tension, and elegant clarity.

Gérard Boulay Estate
Boulay’s signature is evident in the precision of the Sauvignon grown on the white soils and gravelly terraces of Chavignol. The wines display ripe yet restrained fruit, a streamlined structure, and that salinity found in the greatest Sancerres. Aging in demi-muids, which is very well integrated, lends a silky texture without altering the aromatic profile. The single-vineyard cuvées—Monts Damnés, La Grande Côte—each express a nuance of slope and exposure. One of the village’s most consistent and elegant estates.
