Sancerre Rose Gerard Boulay "Sibylle" Organic

This gorgeous Rosé is created from 35-40 year old Pinot Noir vines on the steep clay hillsides in front of the Boulay home in Chavignol.  Gerard works the soil manually and lets nature make the wine. Tank fermented. Boulay adds no yeast and minimal amounts of SO2. Only 200 cases made per year.  Unlike many Sancerre Roses, Gerard harvests his Pinot specifically to make rose by direct press, then into tank. It is not a selection of young vines as he has no young Pinot vines. What makes the rosé one year could make red another, and vice versa, depending on what the vintage gives.
