France, Loire

Tasting notes on the 2019 vintage:
'Intensely golden-yellow in color, Thierry Germanin's 2019 Saumur L'Insolite opens with a deep and elegant bouquet of ripe fruits (pears) with chalky, stony and orange notes as well as some tobacco scents. Elegant and fresh on the palate, this is a refined and fruity, medium-bodied Saumur with a stimulating finish that combines mineral grip and salinity with ripe acidity. The finish reveals lots of energy and character. Drink 2021-2030.' – Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, 92/100

| Producer information | Born to a family of Bordeaux wine growers, at 23 years of age, in 1991, Thierry Germain left the Gironde to start his own domaine, Domaine des Roches Neuves, in the Loire valley. He believes the richness of the soil is key to the finesse of Saumur wines. Thierry Germain along with the Foucault brothers (Clos Rouegard) in Saumur Champigny and Nicolas Joly in Savenières have been three of the biggest drivers for quality Cabernet Franc and Chenin in the Loire. All being true believers in the merits of biodynamics. |
