The Boulay family have nine hectares in the famed Sancerre village of Chavignol.  Gerard Boulay, who runs the winemaking today, works by instinct or “au feeling”, he wants to “let the wine live” and tries not to interfere with the natural process of vine and grape. Clos de Beaujeu is one of Chavignol's most historic vineyards, his parcel lies within the original walls of the vineyard, established by the monks of Beaujeu in the Middle Ages. This is his deepest, most structured wines and savory, spicy examples of Chavignol that are built to last.
