The estate and the wine |
|
|
Founded in 2011 by Michel Chevré, former vineyard manager for the renowned Thierry Germain, Clos de l’Écotard has quickly become one of the Loire Valley’s most respected estates.
Today, Michel and his son Thibaud craft some of the purest, most vibrant wines in the region, working with organic farming to produce terroir-driven cuvées of remarkable precision and finesse, masterfully aged in barrels or amphorae.
With 2 stars in the RVF guide, this cutting-edge estate continues to impress. Both reds and whites shine with an almost magical purity, crafted with exceptional skill and balance. No wonder wine lovers scramble to get their hands on a few bottles… |
