Sancerre Rouge 'Vincengetorix' Domaine Vincent Gaudry 2009

Vincent's domaine is situated in Sury en Vaux (meaning the smiling Valley), a few kilometres from Sancerre. Certified Biodynamic since 2004, Vincent has received much attention from the organic and biodynamic farming community for his ground-breaking research into alternative methods for organic farming, to the extent that Domaine de la Romanée Conti have asked him to train their staff. Committed to every detail of the biodynamic process, Vincent even uses barrels fabricated with wood cut only on days suggested by the biodynamic calendar.
His wines are a true expression of the Sancerre terroir at its best, and their quality makes them some of the best Sauvignon we have ever tasted.

A lot of structure for a red Sancerre that is more reminiscent of Côtes de Beaune Pinot Noir. Delicious cherry jam and pain grillé characters, with a spicy and mineral finish.
