December 10, 2023 - Un vin qui est dans une fenêtre de consommation intéressante. La structure est encore belle avec des saveurs d’agrumes bien fraîches. Je n’attendrais pas encore longtemps pour les prochaines bouteilles. Je crois que ce vin est à son apogée pour ceux qui aiment les sancerres avec un peu de retenue.

August 29, 2022 - Pale frosty yellow. Complex nose including notes of lemon grass, lychee, and turmeric. Deeply charged fig fruit on the palate with electric acid drive, very precise cut, warming on the long winding finish threaded with flavors of citrus rind. Utterly delicious and beginning to reveal the transformations and complexities of age. [Hmm, looks like I went seriously overboard on this wine compared to others. Sue me.]

March 2, 2022 - Green plum, valve oil, bruised peach, crushed slate, flinty, and beautiful nose. Petrichor. The profile is growing and interesting with well integrated layers of flavors and notes. Savory and fruity together. Delicious.

January 15, 2022 - Un Boulay qui vieillit en beauté. Le nez et la bouche sont expressives . En fait, au niveau olfactif c’était vraiment l’une de mes plus belles expériences pour un sancerre avec un mélanges d’agrumes et de fleurs. Bu sur une période de deux jours et je dirais que l’expérience était meilleur le premier soir.
