Vincent Gaudry - Sancerre - Le Tournebride - white - 2023

The 2023 Sancerre Le Tournebride White stands out for its perfectly ripe fruit and the vibrant, textured weight it brings to the palate. This is a beautifully honest, no-frills Sancerre—clean, precise, and full of energy, lifted by bright notes of lemon and grapefruit.

A true master of Sancerre’s finest whites and awarded 2 stars by the French wine guide RVF, Domaine Vincent Gaudry brings back the pure, timeless soul of Sauvignon Blanc.

Working biodynamically, his wines express a raw authenticity—free from technical artifice. What emerges is a precise, deeply personal vision of Sancerre, unlike anything else in the region.

The emotional impact is profound. Tasted at a salon this past January, the wines left a lasting impression on Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World and member of our Selection Committee.
