About Vincent Gaudry Mélodie de Vieilles Vignes

As the saying goes, "nature calls," Vincent Gaudry knew from a tender age that academia was not his calling; he yearned to be outdoors, engaging with the earth through his hands. By the age of 16, he had already begun working on the family estate. Though he initially followed in his father's footsteps, a severe illness caused by spraying chemical treatments led him to become concerned about the harmful effects of systemic products, prompting him to become one of the pioneering biodynamic vignerons of Sancerre (Loire). Deeply connected to his land, vines, and the surrounding nature, he tends to his 11 hectares as if they were a delicate garden, and in the winery, without any airs and graces, he crafts wines that are pure, precise, and genuine.

In the case of Vincent Gaudry Mélodie de Vieilles Vignes, this cuvée is made from sauvignon blanc grapes sourced from old vines over 50 years old, rooted in clay-limestone soil. Adhering to biodynamic principles, he employs regular ploughing, composting, and the use of plant decoctions to minimize the use of sulfur and copper. When the grapes reach their optimal ripeness, they are handpicked and promptly transported to the winery. There, fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats using indigenous yeasts. The wine then matures on fine lees in used barrels for 12 months, followed by an additional 2 months in stainless steel vats. It is finally bottled with a light filtration.

The result is Vincent Gaudry Mélodie de Vieilles Vignes, a white wine characterized by its freshness, tension, and minerality. It is a marvel born from the wholehearted dedication of one of the greats of Sancerre. If you have not yet had the pleasure of acquainting yourself with this wine, the time is now.
