Gerard Boulay Rose Sibylle Sancerre France, 2022, 750
From the Producer:
Varietals: Pinot Noir
Organic: Practicing
Vineyard: From 35-40 year old Pinot Noir vines on the steep hillsides in front of the Boulay home in Chavignol.
Orientation: Multiple parcels, varied exposure
Soil: Steep clay hillside
Viticulture: Gerard works the soil manually and lets nature make the wine
Vinification: Tank fermented. Boulay adds no yeast and minimal amounts of SO2
Aging: Tank aged
Production: 200 cases annually
Notes: Unlike many Sancerre Roses, Gerard harvests his Pinot specifically to make rose by direct press, then into tank. It is not a selection of young vines as he has no young Pinot vines. What makes the rosé one year could make red another, and vice versa, depending on what the vintage gives.
