Domaine des Roches Neuves Saumur-Champigny La Marginale 2019

Thierry Germain’s approach is closer to a Burgundy winemaker than a typical Loire producer. The vineyard is worked in a natural way with the goal of fostering the perfect balance of grape varietal, climate and terroir, and keeping the vine and the soil at its healthiest. He has been an early adopter of biodynamic practices, and remains its fully-fledged advocate. La Marginale is Germain’s best-known bottling, made from some of the estate oldest and lowest-yielding Cabernet franc vines, and perfectly encapsulates the Germain style: profound elegance and soaring intensity
