What is this wine?
Clos de l’Écotard’s Le Clos 2019 is a dry Chenin Blanc from Saumur in the central Loire Valley, produced by winemakers Emmanuel Ogereau and Thomas Berthelot. The estate farms biodynamically on limestone-rich tuffeau soils, and Le Clos comes from a walled vineyard near Brézé—an area famed for its intensely mineral, structured Chenins. Fermented with native yeasts and aged on lees in large oak barrels, it’s a textured yet finely etched expression of Saumur terroir.

Why get this wine?
Clos de l’Écotard has quickly become one of the most exciting names in Saumur, crafting wines of precision and purity. Le Clos 2019 captures the best of the vintage: ripe fruit balanced by electric acidity and profound minerality. It’s a superb choice for lovers of serious, ageworthy Chenin Blanc—offering depth and complexity that rival top white Burgundy.

What does this wine taste like?
Taut and elegant, with notes of pear, quince, and citrus oil layered over chalky minerality and a subtle honeyed edge. The palate is structured, with creamy texture and a long, saline finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2035 for richer, nutty complexity. Pairs beautifully with shellfish, roasted poultry, or creamy vegetable dishes. Serve slightly cool.

"The 2019 Saumur Blanc from Clos de l'Ecotard hails from a clay-limestone slope that's worked by horse. It's a tender, silken style with a fine bitterness on the gently refreshing conclusion. A touch of alcoholic warmth slightly clips the finish." -Rebecca Gibb
