A true rarity from the Western Loire, Thierry Beclair’s wines are some of those bottles that natural wine lovers quietly chase. Small production, hard to find, and absolutely worth the hunt. We’re thrilled to have them in the shop!

Harvested in mid-October for extra ripeness, this Chenin is gently direct pressed and aged for 18 months in a semi-buried amphora. The result is rich and expressive while still keeping that beautiful Loire freshness—lush texture, a creamy mouthfeel, and a long finish lifted by a soft, elegant acidity. A seriously special bottle and a must try!
