Gault&Millau's review 2025

Intense aromas of ripe pear and quince introduce this wine, followed by notes of honey, beeswax and toast. Fruit and cask harmonize around the terroir, with a beautiful impression of gunflint. On the palate, the attack is frank and full of energy. The symbiosis of clementine, minerality and well-integrated wood gives a silky texture. A vibrant wine with great length that we can't wait to bring to the table.

Clos de l’Ecotard

After accompanying his father as a winegrower, Michel took possession of a family plot of farmland in 2007. This was the beginning of Clos de l'Écotard. Michel creates a veritable ecosystem, from fruit trees to vines. The estate was certified organic in 2011, using biodynamic farming techniques. His son Thibaut took over the reins of the estate in 2024, supported by Guillaume. They now look after just over 15 hectares of vines in the Maine et Loire region, on several parcels of land that have been parcelled out to take advantage of different terroirs and plant a wide range of grape varieties.
