Thierry Germain has turned Roches Neuves into one of the Loire’s most exciting biodynamic estates, and Clos Romans is his top Chenin Blanc—sourced from a tiny limestone plot that delivers both power and finesse. The 2017 vintage, now showing some beautiful evolution, balances richness with razor-sharp acidity, making it a wine that keeps unfolding with every sip.

Golden apple, pear, and quince lead, with layers of honeycomb, chamomile, and crushed seashell. The texture is incredible—silky yet vibrant, with deep, salty minerality and a finish that lingers for minutes. Drinking beautifully now, but still has years of life ahead. Pair it with creamy seafood dishes, roasted poultry, or simply take your time and enjoy every glass. Loire Chenin at its most complex and captivating.
