Chenin
A wine of genuine terroir expression and mineral purity
- Thierry Germain's Clos de l'Echelier represents the pinnacle of his biodynamic practice. This Saumur blanc offers the drinker a profound encounter with limestone terroir, combining orchard fruit with a distinctive mineral tension that speaks of place rather than technique.
- Biodynamic viticulture and meticulous vinification have yielded a wine of crystalline purity. The chalky minerality defines the palate, delivering a saline finish that lingers with impressive length and vertical structure.
- This is a wine of genuine gastronomic ambition. The tension and clarity of expression make it an ideal companion to seafood, delicate crustaceans, and refined cuisine where mineral precision enhances rather than overwhelms the table.

In the mouth
Taut and vertical in structure, with a distinctive chalky minerality that creates a crystalline sensation. The wine possesses an internal vibration—lean rather than generous—with saline length and impressive precision
The Clos de l'Echelier represents Thierry Germain's pinnacle of tension. This is uncompromising terroir: straight, vertical, and crystalline in purity. It evokes the spirit of a great Chablis Grand Cru rather than conventional Loire Chenin. Pure rock and mineral energy, with saline persistence. A wine of genuine emotion and gastronomic purpose.
