Sancerre Blanc 'L'Esprit de Rudolph' Domaine Vincent Gaudry 2010Our price: £20.15Vincent Gaudry is well known throughout the business as one of France’s most secretive winemakers. What is known of him however, is that he is very much at one with nature. He harvests his crop, ‘when the vines tell him to’ while his vineyard is home to an array of standing stones which he believes his ancestors constructed in an effort to channel energy between earth and heaven. One thing that is common knowledge however, is the sublime quality of his wines, which are among the Loire’s most stunning, surely justification for the unusual methods which Vincent utilises.
