Tasting- Gerard Boulay Sancerre Chavignol

The Gerard Boulay Sancerre Chavignol was the second wine that we tried yesterday at the Vintage Cellar. It is from Sancerre in the Loire valley of France, Sauvignon Blanc variety, 2011, priced at $27.95. The Vintage Cellar said, "Much more than a aimple quaffer with its aromas of candied grapefruit, Mandarin orange, lime and wildflowers. But what really sets it apart is it mineral-infused personality. These are wines of the soil, wines that echo the land with percision and delineation found in only the greatest of white wines. Comprised from the Boulay's many small parcels around the hamlet of Chavignol- considered to be the finest spot in all of Sancerre". I thought that this wine was very good, yet pretty acidic, with a splash of citrus infused lemon.
