Thierry Germain purchased Domaine des Roches Neuves back in 1991, but it wasn't until he felt the influence of fellow Saumur winemaker Charly Foucault (Clos Rougeard) years later that he began to find what he feels is his true path. He eventually converted to biodynamics under the direction of François Bouchet, who also guided top Burgundy domaines like Romanee-Conti, Leflaive, and Leroy.

In the decade or so since, Germain's wines have dramatically shot up in quality. Catapulting Roches Neuves to its current status as an elite Loire Valley address. Here are world-class wines in both red and white, made with an approach to viticulture to and terroir-expression which has exerted a huge influence on a younger generation of winemakers. The man is an icon.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 93
"The 2021 Saumur Champigny Les Mémoires, deriving from vines rooted in silex soils atop chalky subsoils, offers up aromas of plums, violets, peonies, spices and smoke intertwined with flinty notes. Medium to full-bodied, layered and crystalline, it’s deep and complete with structuring tannins and a more austere character than the Clos de l’Echelier. It should see out its 10th anniversary in fine form." -Yohan Castaing
