Chenin
Six generations of Loire winemaking, rooted in biodynamic practice
- The Domaine has been farmed organically since the late 1990s and biodynamically since the early 2000s, reflecting Thierry Germain's commitment to expressing terroir with integrity and minimal intervention.
- This Clos de l'Echelier commands attention for its remarkable aromatic persistence—a hallmark of wines with genuine structure and mineral depth rather than superficial charm.
- A pure expression of Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley's schist and limestone soils, delivering the tension and salinity more commonly associated with the greatest white Burgundies.

Breeding
Ageing exclusively in old wooden foudres (no new wood) for approximately 12 months
On the eye
Golden yellow robe, brilliant and limpid in the glass
On the nose
Orchard fruits and roasted pineapple, with underlying flint and chalk minerality that evolves with air
In the mouth
Taut and vertical on the palate, with a distinctive saline minerality and chalky texture. The wine is lean and energetic rather than voluptuous, with impressive length and definition
Clos de l'Echelier represents the pinnacle of tension in Thierry Germain's portfolio. This is an uncompromising wine—straight, vertical, crystalline in purity. It recalls the spirit of a great Chablis Grand Cru rather than a conventional Loire Chenin. A pure expression of terroir: a true 'blade of rock' that impresses through sheer energy and saline length. Ideal with raw fish, shellfish, or delicate cream-based dishes.
