Clos de l'Écotard Les Quarts Saint-Vincent 2018

Rich and vinous with impressive weight for Chenin Blanc. Baked apple and brioche meld with honeyed complexity from extended lees aging. The mousse shows elegance, while chalky minerals provide solid structure. More substantial than most Champagne, though it trails off on the finish.

Clos de l'Écotard

Small Saumur domaine working chenin blanc and cabernet franc across a handful of named parcels, including the estate's own Clos. Whites and reds both, plus a traditional-method sparkling.
