Quietly since his arrival at the head of the 11 ha of the family estate in the 90s, Vincent Gaudry has traced his path in search of the most precise and distinctive aromatic expressions of the grape variety and the terroir. His whites, with their aniseed tones (fennel), are vibrant and stimulating, while his reds have a delicate fullness that makes them noble. Radiant wines that do not give in to the fashion of modern Sancerre, too exotic and plump to be sincere.

Promoted two stars in the Revue du Vin de France's 2025 guide.

The entry-level Le Tournebride is a blend of 3 parcels of flint, clay-limestone and caillottes (limestone chips). Mélodie de Vieilles Vignes, fatter and richer, comes from a clay-limestone hillside while Constellation du Scorpion, more complex and marked by flint, has a tense, long and salivating finish.

Vinified in whole bunches, Les Garennes is refined and elegant, silky and ripe on the palate, with great length and no feeling of heaviness. A great pinot noir!

The Barmès children, Maxime and Sophie, have taken up with application and conviction the work initiated by their father (who died accidentally in 2011): organic (certified since 2001) and biodynamic farming, manual work as much as possible, no additives (neither yeast, nor chaptalization, nor fining) other than sulphur in minimal quantities. A single priority: to obtain the best climatic and geological expression of each of the 7 parcels of the estate (4 "villages" and 3 grands crus). Their Rieslings, with great ageing potential, are absolutely exemplary.

Steingrubler, great finesse and length, clay-limestone soil on granite ridge. 

The Barmès children, Maxime and Sophie, have continued the work begun by their father (who died accidentally in 2011) with dedication and conviction: organic (certified since 2001) and biodynamic viticulture, manual work wherever possible, no additives (no yeasting, no chaptalisation, no fining) other than sulphur in minimal quantities. A single priority: to obtain the best climatic and geological expression from each of the estate's 7 parcels (4 'villages' and 3 'grands crus'). Their Rieslings, with their great ageing potential, are absolutely exemplary. Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France's guide.

Although the aromatic exuberance of Gewurztraminer is often used to produce sweet wines, this is a "tender" wine, vinified with an emphasis on tension, and sparing residual sugars.

Coteaux Calcaires is a reflection of its terroir, a crisp, very red-fruit pinot noir, underpinned by fine acidity and a saline finish. It easily compares with many Burgundy pinots, Volnay version.

The estate is as traditional (confiscated from the Carthusian monks during the Revolution and sold as 'national property' to the Pignier family in 1794) as it is avant-garde (biodynamic cultivation since 1998, Demeter certification since 2003). The vineyard (14 hectares in the commune of Montaigu) stretches over clay, limestone and marl soils, planted with red grape varieties (mainly Trousseau and a little Poulsard) on the southern exposures, and white grape varieties (Chardonnay and Gamay Blanc) on the north/north-east exposures. The entire range is a perfect expression of the purity, spontaneity and authenticity that are the hallmarks of Jura wines.

The Gamay blanc, an old strain of Chardonnay, is matured for 18 months in barrels, with regular topping up for more fruit and freshness.

Les Gauthières is the estate's great red cuvée (focusing on black cherry in 2022), selected from a plot planted as in the past with trousseau à la dame, trousseau noir, enfariné and savagnin jaune, matured for 12 months in barrels.

A new generation of winegrowers is waking Cahors up. Rustic wines with coarse tannins are a thing of the past. Make way for digestible, tasty, fruity and velvety malbecs. The duo Matthieu Cosse (the oenologist) / Catherine Maisonneuve (the winegrower) is part of this new Cadurian elite, with a magnificent range of wines where purity, precision and elegance prevail. "Transcending the boundaries of its appellation, the estate is one of the best in France" for Mr. Bettane.

Supple on the palate, beautiful freshness, tannins not very marked, La Fage is a Cahors that is greedy, pleasant and joyful.

Cahors de caractère, Les Laquets is long and racy, with a persistent finish (cedar and black fruits), perfectly balanced by a fine and precise maturing. Perfect representation of the Cossse/ Maisonneuve style.

La Marguerite is the prestigious cuvée of the Domaine, coming from a 2.5 hectare plot on the famous siderolithic terroir (clay-limestone mixed with reddish iron deposits). A wine of great potential where minerality vies with intensity. Splendid!
