"the boulay family has been growing vines in chavignol since 1310. this village in the sancerre appellation has steep hillsides. it is here that you will find les monts damnés, culs de beaujeu and la grande côte. these names will certainly ring a bell if you have ever tasted the wines of françois cotat. gérard boulay is at the head of an estate of 11.5 hectares of vines, half owned, half rented. 2 ha for red and rosé wines, the rest being dedicated to white wine. gérard boulay is one of the few winegrowers in the sancerre appellation to work the soil. he ploughs, with a caterpillar for the steepest slopes, 1.5 ha in culs de beaujeu, 1.8 ha in monts damnés and 45 ares in grande côte. the slopes are systematically grassed to fight against erosion. in the ""crus"", the grapes are harvested by hand, while in the other terroirs, a large part is machine harvested. the vineyard treatments are as light as possible: no pesticides, no anti-rot, no chemical fertilisers. the estate uses a little organic compost, but without trying to increase yields. the wines are vinified in the same spirit: the yeasts are obviously indigenous, a racking is carried out at the end of fermentation and the wine is left on fine lees. sulphur is used to a minimum and the wine is aged in 300 litre barrels or in enamel or stainless steel tanks. this estate is one of the finest references in the appellation and is particularly renowned for the purity of its wines, which express the diversity of the chavignol terroirs to perfection. the comtesse cuvée from domaine gérard boulay is perhaps the most sought-after among sancerre lovers. a sub-parcel, la comtesse is located at the bottom of the famous monts damnés parcel. situated on a thicker clay terroir and planted with low-yielding 70-year-old vines, this parcel is extremely sunny and produces wines of great richness and expressive fruit, combined with the minerality and natural tension of the best sancerre wines, a real gem! the aging potential of the comtesse is at least 10 years. the monts damnés of the domaine gérard boulay are among the most famous parcels of the chavignol area. the monts damnés hillside is known for its steep slopes. gérard boulay's plot of about 1 hectare is planted with vines that are about forty years old, facing south. the subsoil, rich in kimmeridgian marl, is similar to that of chablis, but more complex, according to gérard boulay. the winemaker insists on the expression of the terroir more than on the varietal aromas of the sauvignon. from this famous parcel comes a wine with incredible balance, great minerality, also quite iodized, with a generous fruit. les monts damnés 2021 is very fresh. still a little closed for the moment, it will open up slowly over the next few years."
