The 2020 vintage in the press :
Vinous (R. Gibb - June 2022): 94/100 "The 2020 Franc de Pied [...] reveals itself to be a richly fruited, savory style that fills the mouth with a balloon of chalky silness. The limestone element really shows itself on the long finish, all finely grained texture and sinew. As you'd hope from Saumur-Champigny, there's no sense of weight or heft."

The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (R. Gibb - December 2023): 92/100 “The 2021Clos de l'Echelier is a delicate and tender style, with impressive purity of fruit. It is almost cloud-like in its lightness on the palate. The finest of chalk-like tannins covers the mouth in a blanket of finely-pixelated image, which can no doubt be attributed to this limestone-rich, north-facing site as well as a very delicate hand when it comes to extraction. Being 2021, there's no shortage of acidity, but it is entirely integrated within the wine, providing a thread of tension that courses through its core, leaving everything tied up on the precise finish. This is a harmonious,well-crafted example."

Vinous (Rebecca Gibb - Master of Wine - December 2023): 94/100 “Made from vines planted on clay-limestone in 1904, Les Mémoires 2021 is fragrant, refined and long. It displays rich concentration in an elegant, rather delicate whole. As expected with a wine of this age, it's young and bright, with aromas of red currant fruit, flowers, black olive and even a hint of smoky wood. There's definitely depth and tannins, but they melt away on the palate. The finish is refined and assured, with a shimmering acidity that gives it a fabulous backbone. Apogee 2024-2038.”

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.

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.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “Let's go up a few steps with Tournebride, blending caillottes, flint and clay-limestone in a spirited, extremely seductive sancerre, between tenderness, fatness, delicacy and energy.”
La Revue du Vin de France (April 2024): 93/100 “Wonderful interpretation of Sauvignon. This cuvée, which blends grapes grown on clay-limestone, flint and pebbles, sets the tone for Vincent Gaudry's range of energetic, fleshy, delicate wines. An irresistible fruity tenderness punctuated by a lovely finish. Delicious.”
Vinous (Rebecca Gibb - July 2024): 92/100 “The Tournebride 2022 is like diving into a hot bath. It's certainly round and ripe, in keeping with the season, but it's also elegant, refined and balanced. A blend of Sancerre's three terroirs, it offers a little of everything. The 2022 is not flashy, but it is seductive and charming. It's drinking very well now with its ripe, fruity red apple finish, and I dare you not to like it.”

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.
