Thierry Germain of Roches Neuves is one of the Loire’s most visionary winemakers, crafting biodynamic wines that capture the purity and energy of Saumur’s limestone-rich soils. Clos Romans is his crown jewel, sourced from a walled, single-vineyard site with fossilized limestone that lends extraordinary minerality. The 2019 vintage, shaped by a warm but balanced growing season, delivers a Chenin Blanc of remarkable intensity, depth, and longevity.

Golden apple, ripe pear, and citrus zest give way to layers of wet stone, white flowers, and subtle beeswax. The palate is taut yet expansive, with electric acidity cutting through the wine’s depth and texture. While some Saumur Blancs lean into roundness, Clos Romans remains precise and mineral-driven, unfolding with a saline-tinged, endlessly long finish.

This is a Chenin Blanc built for aging, but its balance makes it stunning even in its youth. A natural match for shellfish, creamy poultry dishes, or aged Comté, this is Loire white wine at its most complex and compelling. Decant if drinking now, or cellar for 10+ years to unlock even greater nuance.

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 Bugundy 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.
