Vincent Gaudry 'Le Tournebride' Sancerre 2022

$59.00

Winemaker Vincent Gaudry explains that, historically, when Sancerre was still sold by the barrel to satisfy the thirst of Paris bistros (which, like, take us back!), winemakers used to blend wines from the three different terroirs of Sancerre in equal parts to make a complete wine that would travel well. In reference to this tradition, his cuvée 'Le Tournebride,' the primary wine of the domaine, is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc grown on caillottes from Verdigny, terres blanches from Sury-en-Vaux, and silex from Saint-Satur. For Vincent, this wine represents a complete, transparent expression of Sancerre, delicately perfumed with a touch of gras (nice plumpness!) and mineral tension.
