This wine offers a fresh and smoky but also ripe fruits and floral notes on the nose. The palate is filled with orchard fruits and minerality. The subtle creaminess are bolstered by a lovely zing of acidity.
The iconic Monopole vineyard of Thierry Germain, with 1.8 hectares, Clos de l'Echelier is the "Grand Cru" representing the best Chenin that the Loire has to offer. The expression of this wine is all about tension, with a fine bouquet and alluring fruits.
