Domaine Nicolas Gaudry is a family-owned Loire Valley estate based in Tracy-sur-Loire and Pouilly-sur-Loire, led by sixth-generation vigneron Nicolas Gaudry with his wife Sandy and alongside his father Denis. The domaine farms parcels across Tracy-sur-Loire, Pouilly, Saint-Andelain and Garchy, with varied soils including flint clay, Kimmeridgian marl, limestone and calcareous Barrois, giving scope for terroir-driven Pouilly-Fumé blends and parcel selections. Farming is conducted under culture raisonnée, with annual vine renewal. The estate focuses mainly on Pouilly-Fumé, alongside Pouilly-sur-Loire, and emphasizes single-parcel cuvées. Its Les Champs de Cri parcel, on flint-rich silex, is vinified in 500L oak barrels, then aged 12 months on lees and further matured in bottle.
