Gerard Boulay 'Monts Damnés' Sancerre, 2024 (1.5L) Portugal and have chosen the CencibelThis treasured cuve is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. We love it paired with grilled fish or a traditional roasted chicken with preserved lemon and cultured butter. Boulay began farming the steeply sloped Mont Damns vineyard in 1982. His plot has an average vine age of 45 years. Mont Damns reflective soils and south facing exposition make it one of Chavignols warmest sites and a rather ripe expression.
