La Cote Sancerre 2018

Region: 
Grape Variety: 
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Note: 
Their nine hectares of vines are worked manually and have been farmed organically since 1990. Fruit for ‘La Cote’ comes from the estate’s coolest site and ferments naturally in steel, followed by 10 months of lees-aging in large foudre. The final wine is fleshy and textured, showing flavors of apple, stone fruit, and gunflint, marked by a racy acidity and pronounced finish.
Vinification: 
Gerard Boulay is one of the greats of this tiny village and produces some of the most distinctive and sublime wines in Sancerre. He produces 60,000 bottles of fine wine from 11 hectares with Organic Viticulture.
