Michel Chevre Clos de l'Ecotard Saumur Brut 2021
Michel Chevré and his son Thibaud make this excellent Loire Valley méthode traditionnelle sparkler. Sourced from two small south-facing parcels in Fosse-Bellay (Maine-et-Loire), this blend of (mostly) Chenin Blanc, Grolleau Gris, and Cabernet Franc comes from 50-year-old vines rooted in sandy-clay soils.
Hand-harvested and bottle-aged on lees for 24 months, it was disgorged in November 2023 and bottled with no dosage, letting the fruit and terroir speak clearly. At 12.5% ABV, this Brut is crisp, precise, and bone-dry—expect bright acidity, fine bubbles, and a lean, mineral-driven finish.
Perfect with oysters, goat cheese, charcuterie, or anything fried, this is a serious Loire fizz with effortless charm. Only 1.2 hectares in production—so if you see it, grab it.
