93 points Vinous

Unlike most Sancerres you'll come across, the 2023 Mélodie de Vieilles Vignes is a wine that needs time in bottle to flourish fully. But then Vincent Gaudry isn't just any Sancerre producer. It is a rather powerful style with a plentiful structure that squeezes your palate like a strongman, lifting you off your feet and hugging you. Expect concentration and a chalky, powdery texture on the long, pure, fresh finish.
