Domaine Fabrice Gasnier
2025 Gasnier 'Le Clos de la Cure' Chinon Blanc 750mL
White flower and fresh linen aromatics hint at the freshness on the palate. A zippy Chenin that leans into green apple and mandarin fruits with a light ribbon of minerality.

Domaine Fabrice Gasnier
In 1998, Sandrine and Fabrice Gasnier began exploring organic and biodynamic farming in Cravant les Coteaux in the Loire Valley. The estate converted fully in 2000 and has been certified organic and biodynamic since 2008.
Today the family farms Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc across many small parcels, working the soils and harvesting by hand. In 2019 their children, Cynthia and Valentin, returned from a stint in New Zealand to join the domaine, carrying the farming and cellar work forward with native yeast ferments and a focus on parcel bottlings like Le Clos de la Cure.
