Domain Vincent Gaudry
Possibly the first biodynamic certified producer in the appellation, for the last three decades Vincent Gaudry has been creating wines that are miles away from the modern idea of Sancerre. He farms biodynamically 11ha on three different soil types (gravel, silex and calcareous clay), and his aim is to express the quintessence of the different terroirs through a non-invasive winemaking method. His wines are textural, deep and mineral, and they have that old style Sancerre appeal.
