Tasting Note

No one is producing Cabernet Franc like Thierry Germain. His approach is closer to a Burgundy wine-maker than a typical Loire producer. This... (more...) 50 acre Domaine, situated in a superb viticultural location in the appellation of Saumur Champigny, has been a winery since 1850. Germain, from a long line of Bordeaux winemakers, arrived here in 1991, attracted by the regions’ perfect balance of grape varietal, climate and terroir, which he considers one of the finest in France. With the 2005 vintage Germain is working Biodynamically. The harvest is manual, selecting grapes at their very ripest level.
