Discover the mineral precision of Thierry Germain's finest Saumur Blanc
- Clos de l'Echelier represents the pinnacle of Thierry Germain's craft: a Saumur Blanc of uncommon tension and mineral clarity. This wine speaks to those who seek authenticity and terroir expression over fashionable fruit-forward styles.
- Germain's philosophy marries Loire tradition with meticulous vineyard stewardship. The result is a wine of vertical purity—closer in spirit to a great Chablis Grand Cru than to conventional Chenin styles. It rewards both contemplation and the table.
- For the discerning drinker, Clos de l'Echelier offers genuine gastronomic potential. Its saline minerality and crystalline structure make it an ideal companion to refined seafood preparations, delicate crustaceans, and dishes of subtle complexity.

In the mouth
Remarkable internal tension and verticality. The wine is not soft but taut, driven by chalky minerality that imparts a distinctive stony sensation. Saline, crystalline, and impressively long on the palate
Clos de l'Echelier represents the apex of tension in Thierry Germain's portfolio. This is uncompromising wine: straight, vertical, crystalline in purity. It evokes a Grand Cru Chablis more than a classical Loire Chenin. Pure terroir expression—a veritable 'blade of rock' with remarkable energy and saline length. Exceptional with tartare, shellfish preparations, and curried seafood dishes.
