Gérard BoulaySancerre Rosé 2023

We’ve been searching for one truly great international rosé, and when we discovered Boulay, we knew we had found our wine. The Boulay family has been farming in the lauded Chavignol village of the Loire Valley since 1380. The majority of Gérard Boulay’s vines are planted in organically farmed Kimmeridgian soil, the chalky white soil found in Chablis, offering the wines the mineral richness we love. While many producers make rosé from young vines, not yet ready to be bottled as red wines, Gérard uses 35–40-year-old Pinot Noir vines located on steep hillsides in front of his home. The incredible terroir offers complexity to the wine, along with the fresh, bright, crisp notes of a truly great rosé.
