The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Founded in 2011 by Michel Chevré, who was then head of vineyard management at the excellent Thierry Germain estate, Clos de l’Ecotard has quickly become one of the Loire Valley’s undisputed references.

Today, Michel and his son Thibaud craft some of the region's purest and most dazzling wines, all made from organically farmed vineyards. These terroir-driven wines are of exceptional precision, carefully aged in barrels or amphorae.

With 2 stars in the RVF Guide, this cutting-edge estate is truly impressive. Both the white and red wines echo with a magical purity, crafted with finesse and balance. Wine lovers are eager to get their hands on a few bottles…
Wine Sourced from a limestone-rich hillside, the 2022 Saumur Les Pentes White is a marvel of purity and salinity — one of the most thrilling whites you’ll encounter. The brilliant expression of Chenin Blanc and its chalky character stretch the wine out beautifully, laced with delicate hints of anise. Striking the perfect balance between concentration, mineral intensity, and finesse, this radiant white offers a modern, refined vision of the great whites of the Saumur region. In magnum format, both the pleasure and aging potential are amplified.
Vinification Hand harvested. Selection of grapes from the top of the plot. Fermentation and ageing for 24 months in 25hl Stokinger casks. Production limited to 3,100 bottles and 100 magnums.
