Domaine Gérard Boulay Sancerre Clos Beaujeu 2023, Loire Valley, France. From biodynamically farmed old Sauvignon Blanc vines (30-110 years) in the historic Clos de Beaujeu – a steep, southeast-facing Kimmeridgian limestone and clay slope in Chavignol strewn with fossils for nervy structure – this Domaine Gérard Boulay Sancerre Clos Beaujeu 2023 reveals white peach, apricot, citrus blossom and flinty smoke aromas.

Textural and profound on the palate with ripe green citrus, superb extract, saline minerality and vibrant tension, it builds to a long, poised finish of chalky grip and energy – a Chavignol thoroughbred of hedonistic depth and finesse. Matches oysters, roast veal or goat cheese exquisitely; secure this ageworthy treasure today.​
