🌿 Commitment and Terroir:

Located in Sury-en-Vaux, Vincent Gaudry was one of the first Sancerre winemakers to convert his estate to organic farming and then to biodynamics. The estate has been certified organic since 2002 and Demeter since 2006.

The grapes are harvested by hand and then vinified with minimal intervention to preserve the natural expression of the terroirs. The Tournebride cuvée comes from a blend of plots spread across the communes of Sancerre, Saint-Satur, and Sury-en-Vaux, offering remarkable geological and aromatic diversity.
