Clos de l’Écotard Saumur Blanc Les Pentes 2020, Clos de l’Écotard, Courchamps, Saumur. From steep biodynamic slopes of tuffeau limestone in Courchamps, this Chenin Blanc pulses with electric tension and chalky purity from young vines planted 2009-2013. Aromas leap with wet stone minerality, green apple, quince, white peach, fresh hay, and subtle acacia blossom, edged by citrus pith and flinty smoke. The palate delivers taut vibrancy, piercing acidity, layered stone fruit, saline grip, and a long, chiselled finish after low-temp fermentation and ageing in tanks, barrels, and amphoras.

Clos de l’Écotard’s Les Pentes 2020 Saumur Blanc channels Thibaud and Michel Chevré’s organic mastery – poised, age-worthy Loire brilliance that’s thrillingly precise. Pair with shellfish, goat cheese, or white fish to ignite its rocky soul; grab this terroir rocket now.
