Thierry Germain Saumur Blanc 'L'insolite' 2021
- In stock, ready to ship
Press 2 • October 2024 Direct Press Selection
Thierry Germain moved to Saumur in the Loire in the early 1990’s from Bordeaux and focuses primarily on Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Thierry was heavily influenced by Loire luminary Charly Foucault of Clos Rougeard and converted his entire domaine to biodynamic viticulture.
The Chenin Blanc for the ‘L’Insolite’ is fermented for 2 months in large wooden foudre and aged for 12 months on fine lees in foudre as well. Saumur consistently produces my favorite Chenin’s and Thierry’s are no exception. The ‘L’Insolite’ smells of honeyed orchard fruit with a hint of spice and the palate echoes with honeycomb, lanolin, orchard fruit, fennel like herbs, and is fleshy and vibrant. Jeremy Hernandez
