Wine:
A small production of Chenin, the 2022 white Saumur L'Echelier stretches out on persistent citrus flavors and an extremely chiseled allonge. This white expresses itself more in purity than in power, with a magnificent saline brilliance where the power of the vintage takes a chiselled turn. A taut, enchanting style that is the estate's signature.
A leading figure in Saumur-Champigny, Thierry Germain is one of the most talented winemakers in the Loire Valley.
Awarded three stars by the RVF Guide, his Domaine des Roches Neuves has become a benchmark. His biodynamic vineyard management and keen sensibility create wines of distinct identity, blending the high maturity of Cabernets with the precision of barrel aging, preserving the longevity of fruit flavors that are infused, floral, and crisp. Now with the support of his son Louis, they are together setting the highest standards for the Loire.
