For the past 10 years, working alongside Thierry Germain (Domaine des Roches Neuves) as vineyard manager, Michel Chevré has demonstrated his skill as a winemaker through his Les Ecotards cuvée, produced from a plot of old vines on clay-limestone soil acquired in 2007. He has successfully combined concentration, freshness, and richness with fruity and floral aromas... A 2010 white wine now to be ranked among the must-haves of Saumur! A must-try!
