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.

Domaine Gérard Boulay
Boulay's signature is evident in the precision of the Sauvignon from Chavignol's "terres blanches" and "caillottes." The wines display ripe yet restrained fruit, a tapered structure, and the salinity characteristic of the finest Sancerre wines. The highly integrated aging in demi-muids imparts a silky texture without altering the aromatic profile. The single-parcel cuvées — Monts Damnés, La Grande Côte — each express a distinct nuance of slope and exposure. This is one of the most consistent and elegant estates in the village.
