Description

The vivacity and smoothness of a Saumur white wine

The estate

In 1992, the young Thierry Germain left his native Bordeaux to settle in the Anjou region. He took over the Domaine des Roches Neuves, founded in 1850 and established in Varrains, near Saumur, in the Loire. Considered as one of the greatest winemakers of his generation, Thierry Germain produces plot-based wines that reflect with extreme precision the identity of the grape varieties grown on the estate and the terroirs of Anjou - chalky, tufa and sandy-clay.

The terroir of Thierry Germain - Domaine des Roches Neuves now covers 23 hectares of vines under organic and biodynamic cultivation, certified by Ecocert and Biodyvin. The soils are worked using a horse and the vines keep a natural grass cover.

The vineyard

Thierry Germain's Insolite 2022 - Domaine des Roches Neuves is a Loire wine made from vineyards located in Les Cerpes and Saint-Vincent. The vines are planted on clay-limestone soils composed of silt and flint.

Winemaking and ageing

The grapes, harvested by hand, underwent alcoholic fermentation in tuns and barrels. Pneumatic pressing for 4 hours. This Saumur wine was aged for nine months on fine lees.

Blend

Chenin Blanc (100%)

Characteristics and tasting tips for L'Insolite 2022 from Thierry Germain - Domaine des Roches Neuves

Tasting

Colour
The wine has a light-filled, shining straw yellow colour.

Nose
Concentrated and powerful, the nose releases fruity, floral and plant notes which evolve into scents of white flesh fruit (pear, peach), citrus fruit (lemon, grapefruit), verbena and honeysuckle.

Palate
Precise and smooth from the attack, the palate has a delicate acidity and a very rich aromatic expression. The lively and dense palate unveils notes of gentian and ginger.
