2005 Gerard Boulay Sancerre La Comtesse #163358651
Reviews 93 points Wine Advocate "...displays a gorgeous nose of lime sherbet, honey, grapefruit, white peach, fennel, and a hint of Alsace Riesling-like petrol, as well as more chalky, Sancerre-typical minerality and brightness than its 2005 stable mates. Lush and rich on the palate – where peach and citrus are joined by honeydew melon – but clear and refined, this carries a billowing elegance into its creamy yet clear and refreshing finish, with mint, anise, and subtly chalky notes accenting the fruit. (DS)" 93 points John Gilman "The bouquet offers up a complex and still very vibrant nose of fresh lime, gooseberry, limepeel, a touch of beeswax, complex chalky minerality and a topnote of orange blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, nicely ripe and very pure in profile, with a lovely core of fruit, still excellent acidity and fine focus and grip on the long and complex finish. Fine juice. (JG)"
